SO, down to the ground she sprang, and, almost before Peter knew it, he was tucked up nice and warm, in a big furry muff, with only his little head sticking out. Peter was very much frightened, but he wanted so much to have a ride in the shiny red sleigh, that he kept as quiet as a little mouse, and never stirred, except that he moved his ears now and then. All rabbits move their ears, and most of them wiggle their funny little pink noses. Peter didn’t wiggle his nose, because he was afraid it wouldn’t be proper to do so when out in company.

THE pretty little girl was on her way to the Toy Shop, where all the beautiful Christmas presents come from, and when she told Peter about all the wonderful things he would see, his little eyes grew as big as saucers.
