The
Toad
was
simply
wild
with
jealousy
,
more
especially
as
he
could
n't
make
out
for
the
life
of
him
what
the
Mole
had
done
that
was
so
particularly
clever
;
but
,
fortunately
for
him
,
before
he
could
show
temper
or
expose
himself
to
the
Badger
's
sarcasm
,
the
bell
rang
for
luncheon
It
was
a
simple
but
sustaining
meal
--
bacon
and
broad
beans
,
and
a
macaroni
pudding
;
and
when
they
had
quite
done
,
the
Badger
settled
himself
into
an
arm-chair
,
and
said
,
"
Well
,
we
've
got
our
work
cut
out
for
us
to-night
,
and
it
will
probably
be
pretty
late
before
we
're
quite
through
with
it
;
so
I
'm
just
going
to
take
forty
winks
,
while
I
can
.
"
And
he
drew
a
handkerchief
over
his
face
and
was
soon
snoring
.
The
anxious
and
laborious
Rat
at
once
resumed
his
preparations
,
and
started
running
between
his
four
little
heaps
,
muttering
,
"
Here
's
-
a-belt-for-the-Rat
,
here
's
-
a-belt-for-the-Mole
,
here
's
-
a-belt-for-the-Toad
,
here
's
-
a-belt-for-the-Badger
!
"
and
so
on
,
with
every
fresh
accoutrement
he
produced
,
to
which
there
seemed
really
no
end
;
so
the
Mole
drew
his
arm
through
Toad
's
,
led
him
out
into
the
open
air
,
shoved
him
into
a
wicker
chair
,
and
made
him
tell
him
all
his
adventures
from
beginning
to
end
,
which
Toad
was
only
too
willing
to
do
.
The
Mole
was
a
good
listener
,
and
Toad
,
with
no
one
to
check
his
statements
or
to
criticise
in
an
unfriendly
spirit
,
rather
let
himself
go
.
Indeed
,
much
that
he
related
belonged
more
properly
to
the
category
of
what-might-have-happened-had-I-only-thought-of-it-in-time-instead-of-ten-minutes-afterwards
.
Those
are
always
the
best
and
the
raciest
adventures
;
and
why
should
they
not
be
truly
ours
,
as
much
as
the
somewhat
inadequate
things
that
really
come
off
?

WHEN
it
began
to
grow
dark
,
the
Rat
,
with
an
air
of
excitement
and
mystery
,
summoned
them
back
into
the
parlour
,
stood
each
of
them
up
alongside
of
his
little
heap
,
and
proceeded
to
dress
them
up
for
the
coming
expedition
.
He
was
very
earnest
and
thorough-going
about
it
,
and
the
affair
took
quite
a
long
time
.
First
,
there
was
a
belt
to
go
round
each
animal
,
and
then
a
sword
to
be
stuck
into
each
belt
,
and
then
a
cutlass
on
the
other
side
to
balance
it
.
Then
a
pair
of
pistols
,
a
policeman
's
truncheon
,
several
sets
of
handcuffs
,
some
bandages
and
sticking-plaster
,
and
a
flask
and
a
sandwich-case
.
The
Badger
laughed
good-humouredly
and
said
,
"
All
right
,
Ratty
!
It
amuses
you
and
it
does
n't
hurt
me
.
I
'm
going
to
do
all
I
've
got
to
do
with
this
here
stick
.
"
But
the
Rat
only
said
,
"
Please
,
Badger
.
You
know
I
should
n't
like
you
to
blame
me
afterwards
and
say
I
had
forgotten
anything
!
"
When
all
was
quite
ready
,
the
Badger
took
a
dark
lantern
in
one
paw
,
grasped
his
great
stick
with
the
other
,
and
said
,
"
Now
then
,
follow
me
!
Mole
first
,
'
cos
I
'm
very
pleased
with
him
;
Rat
next
;
Toad
last
.
And
look
here
,
Toady
!
Do
n't
you
chatter
so
much
as
usual
,
or
you
'll
be
sent
back
,
as
sure
as
fate
!
"
The
Toad
was
so
anxious
not
to
be
left
out
that
he
took
up
the
inferior
position
assigned
to
him
without
a
murmur
,
and
the
animals
set
off
.
The
Badger
led
them
along
by
the
river
for
a
little
way
,
and
then
suddenly
swung
himself
over
the
edge
into
a
hole
in
the
river
bank
,
a
little
above
the
water
.
The
Mole
and
the
Rat
followed
silently
,
swinging
themselves
successfully
into
the
hole
as
they
had
seen
the
Badger
do
;
but
when
it
came
to
Toad
's
turn
,
of
course
he
managed
to
slip
and
fall
into
the
water
with
a
loud
splash
and
a
squeal
of
alarm
.
He
was
hauled
out
by
his
friends
,
rubbed
down
and
wrung
out
hastily
,
comforted
,
and
set
on
his
legs
;
but
the
Badger
was
seriously
angry
,
and
told
him
that
the
very
next
time
he
made
a
fool
of
himself
he
would
most
certainly
be
left
behind
.

So
at
last
they
were
in
the
secret
passage
,
and
the
cutting-out
expedition
had
really
begun
!
It
was
cold
,
and
dark
,
and
damp
,
and
low
,
and
narrow
,
and
poor
Toad
began
to
shiver
,
partly
from
dread
of
what
might
be
before
him
,
partly
because
he
was
wet
through
.
The
lantern
was
far
ahead
,
and
he
could
not
help
lagging
behind
a
little
in
the
darkness
.
Then
he
heard
the
Rat
call
out
warningly
,
"
Come
on
,
Toad
!
"
and
a
terror
seized
him
of
being
left
behind
,
alone
in
the
darkness
,
and
he
"
came
on
"
with
such
a
rush
that
he
upset
the
Rat
into
the
Mole
,
and
the
Mole
into
the
Badger
,
and
for
a
moment
all
was
confusion
.
The
Badger
thought
they
were
being
attacked
from
behind
,
and
,
as
there
was
no
room
to
use
a
stick
or
a
cutlass
,
drew
a
pistol
,
and
was
on
the
point
of
putting
a
bullet
into
Toad
.
When
he
found
out
what
had
really
happened
he
was
very
angry
indeed
,
and
said
,
"
Now
this
time
that
tiresome
Toad
shall
be
left
behind
!
"
