hose your eyes, Mrs. Mole?” he asked at last. “Yes, indeed they are,” the mother mole answered; “and are they not a beautiful pair? How difficult they are to find, and how well my fur hides them! It would not be easy for the mould to get into _them_; _they_ are not like those great staring things of the rabbit.” “They are very small,” said Tommy Smith. “I should think so!” said the mole; “and what an advantage it is to have small eyes.” “But can you see with them?” said Tommy Smith. “Oh no,” said the mole; “and what an advantage it is not to be able to see.” Tommy Smith did not understand this at all. “The rabbit can see,” he said, “and so can all the other animals.” “_They_ are obliged to,” answered the mole, “and so they have to put up with it; but a mole lives in the dark, and therefore it does not require to see.” “But what are eyes for, if they are not to see with?” Tommy Smith asked. He felt sure it was a sensible question, and it seemed to him that the mole was talking nonsense.
