SANTA CLAUS didn’t say anything, but he went into the next room, and made up a little package for Flopsy, and another little package for Mopsy, and another little package for Cotton-tail, and another little package for Old Mother Rabbit. And on each little package he put a red and green sticker that said, “DON’T OPEN UNTIL CHRISTMAS.”
When Peter had thanked Santa Claus, he hopped back into the little girl’s big furry muff, and off they started for home.
PETER told the driver which way to go, and it wasn’t long before they dashed over the hill, and pulled up under the big fir-tree at the edge of the wood. “Good-bye,” shouted Peter; and “Good-bye,” cried the little girl. And the last she saw of Peter was just his little white tail, disappearing down the hole in the sand-bank.
