must be a great inconvenience to him.” “But haven’t you eyes, too, Mrs. Mole?” asked Tommy Smith. “Would you like to try and find them?” answered the mole. “You may, if you like.” So Tommy Smith knelt down on the ground and began to look all about where he thought the mole’s eyes were likely to be, and to feel with his fingers in the fur. But look and feel as he might, it was no use, he couldn’t find the eyes anywhere. But, just as he was going to give up trying, all at once he thought he saw two little black things hardly so big as the head of a small black pin. Could those be eyes? Tommy Smith hardly believed that they could be, for some time; they were so _very_ small. “Are those 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.” WO GREAT BIG EYES FOR THE DIRT TO GET INTO WHICH MUST BE A GREAT INCONVENIENCE TO HIM BUT HAVEN'T YOU EYES TOO MISSUS MOLE ASKED TOMMY SMITH WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY AND FIND THEM ANSWERED THE MOLE YOU MAY IF YOU LIKE SO TOMMY SMITH KNELT DOWN ON THE GROUND AND BEGAN TO LOOK ALL ABOUT WHERE HE THOUGHT THE MOLE'S EYES WERE LIKELY TO BE AND TO FEEL WITH HIS FINGERS IN THE FUR BUT LOOK AND FEEL AS HE MIGHT IT WAS NO USE HE COULDN'T FIND THE EYES ANYWHERE BUT JUST AS HE WAS GOING TO GIVE UP TRYING ALL AT ONCE HE THOUGHT HE SAW TWO LITTLE BLACK THINGS HARDLY SO BIG AS THE HEAD OF A SMALL BLACK PIN COULD THOSE BE EYES TOMMY SMITH HARDLY BELIEVE THAT THEY COULD BE FOR SOME TIME THEY WERE SO VERY SMALL ARE THOSE YOUR EYES MISSUS 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 MOLE TO GET INTO THEM THEY ARE NOT LIKE THOSE GIANT STARING THINGS OF THE RABBIT
