t the mole would like better. “Oh,” he said at last, “what a very pretty, soft coat you have! I like it very much, indeed.” “Yes; feel it,” said the mole. “It is a very handsome fur; and I can tell you something about it which is curious.” “What is that?” said Tommy Smith. “Why, you may stroke it whichever way you like,” answered the mole, “without hurting me. It is not every animal that has a coat like _that_. There is the cat, poor thing! If you stroke her fur one way, she is very pleased and begins to purr; but if you stroke it the other way, it hurts her, and she does not like it at all. That is because her hair is long and lies all one way. Now my hair is short, and it does not lie any way.” “I suppose you mean that it does not point either towards your head or your tail,” said Tommy Smith. “Yes, that is what I mean,” said the mole. “Instead of that, it sticks straight up, and when you stroke it, it moves whichever way your hand moves, without making me feel at all uncomfortable.” SAID THE RIGHT THING SO HE TRIED TO THINK OF SOMETHING TO SAY THAT THE MOLE WOULD LIKE BETTER OH HE SAID AT LAST WHAT A VERY PRETTY SOFT COAT YOU HAVE I LIKE IT VERY MUCH INDEED YES FEEL IT SAID THE MOLE IT IS VERY HANDSOME FOR AND I CAN TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT IT WHICH IS CURIOUS AND WHAT IS THAT SAID TOMMY SMITH WHY YOU MAY STROKE IT WHICHEVER WAY YOU LIKE ANSWERED THE MOLE WITHOUT HURTING ME IT IS NOT EVERY ANIMAL THAT HAS A COAT LIKE THAT THERE IS THE CAT POOR THING IF YOU STROKE HER FUR ONE WAY SHE'S VERY PLEASED AND BEGINS TO PURR BUT IF YOU STROKE IT THE OTHER WAY IT HURTS HER AND SHE DOES NOT LIKE IT AT ALL THAT IS BECAUSE HER HAIR IS LONG AND LIES ALL ONE WAY NOW MY HAIR IS SHORT AND IT DOESN'T LIE ANYWAY I SUPPOSE YOU MEAN THAT IT DOES NOT POINT EITHER TOWARDS YOUR HEAD OR YOUR TAIL SAID TOMMYMITH YES THAT'S WHAT I MEAN SAID THE MOLE INSTEAD OF THAT IT STICKS STRAIGHT UP AND WHEN YOU STROKE IT IT MOVES WHICHEVER WAY YOUR HAND MOVES WITHOUT MAKING ME FEEL AT ALL UNCOMFORTABLE
