"Well, then," said the rat, "if you are afraid I will go myself, for I know the way about, and am not at all frightened. In the middle of the night, when it is quite dark, and when Tommy Smith is fast asleep, I will creep up the stairs and into his room, and then I can run up the counterpane to the foot of his bed and bite his toes." WELL THEN SAID THE RAT IF YOU ARE AFRAID I WILL GO AND BY MYSELF FOR I KNOW THE WAY ABOUT AND ARE NOT AT ALL FRIGHTENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IT IS QUITE DARK AND WHEN TOMMY SMITH IS FAST ASLEEP I WILL CREEP UP THE STAIRS AND INTO HIS ROOM AND THEN I CAN RUN UP THE COUNTERPANE TO THE FOOT OF HIS BED AND BITE HIS TOES
ould. For his part, he was only a timid animal, and not at all accustomed to hurt people. Still, he had very sharp teeth, and he thought he might be able to jump as high as Tommy Smith’s face and give him a good bite on the cheek or ear, and then run off so quickly that nobody could catch him. The rabbit spoke next, and said that he was just as timid as the hare, and not so strong or so swift. All _he_ could do was to go on digging holes, and he hoped that some day Tommy Smith would fall into one of them. The hedgehog then got up, and said he would hide himself in one of these holes and put up his prickles for Tommy Smith to fall on. This would be sure to hurt him, and perhaps it might even put one of his eyes out. The rat thought it would be better if the hedgehog were to get into Tommy Smith’s bed, so as to prick him all over when he was undressed; but the hedgehog would not agree to this, as he did not understand houses, and thought he would be sure to be caught if he went into one. TO DO HIM WHAT HARM HE COULD FOR HIS PART HE WAS ONLY A TIMID ANIMAL AND NOT AT ALL ACCUSTOMED TO HURT PEOPLE STILL HE HAD VERY SHARP TEETH AND HE THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO JUMP AS HIGH AS TOMMY SMITH'S FACE AND GIVE HIM A GOOD BITE ON THE CHEEK OR EAR AND THEN RUN OFF SO QUICKLY THAT NOBODY COULD CATCH HIM THE RABBIT SPOKE NEXT AND SAID THAT HE WAS JUST AS TIMID AS THE HARE AND NOT SO STRONG OR SO SWIFT ALL HE COULD DO WAS TO GO ON DIGGING HOLES AND HE HOPED THAT SOME DAY TOMMY SMITH WOULD FALL INTO ONE OF THEM THE HEDGEHOG THEN GOT UP AND SAID HE WOULD HIDE HIMSELF IN ONE OF THOSE HOLES AND PUT UP HIS PRICKLES FOR TOMMY SMITH TO FALL ON THIS WOULD BE SURE TO HURT HIM AND PERHAPS IT MIGHT EVEN PUT ONE OF HIS EYES OUT THE RAT THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THE HEDGEHOG WERE TO GET INTO TOMMY SMITH'S BED SO AS TO PRICK HIM ALL OVER WHEN HE WAS UNDRESSED BUT THE HEDGEHOG WOULD NOT AGREE TO THIS AS HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND HOUSES AND THOUGHT HE WOULD BE SURE TO BE CAUGHT IF HE WENT INTO ONE
