He said that he was coming down here to sing , and Redwing the Blackbird seemed to be expecting him . I 've looked everywhere I can think of without finding him , but I do n't believe in giving up without another try . Stop your dreaming and come help us hunt . '' So Peter stopped his dreaming and joined in the search . Now there was one place where neither Peter nor Jimmy nor Unc ' Billy had thought of looking . That was in the Smiling Pool itself . They just took it for granted that Old Mr. Toad was somewhere on the bank . Presently Peter came to a place where the bank was very low and the water was shallow for quite a little distance out in the Smiling Pool . From out of that shallow water came the piping voice of a hyla , and Peter stopped to stare , trying to see the tiny singer . Suddenly he jumped right up in the air with surprise . There was a familiar-looking head sticking out of the water . Peter had found Old Mr. Toad ! V OLD MR. TOAD 'S MUSIC BAG Never think that you have learned All there is to know . That 's the surest way of all Ignorance to show . `` I 've found Old Mr. Toad ! '' cried Peter Rabbit , hurrying after Jimmy Skunk . `` Where ? '' demanded Jimmy . `` In the water , '' declared Peter . `` He 's sitting right over there where the water is shallow , and he did n't notice me at all .
Let 's get Unc ' Billy , and then creep over to the edge of the Smiling Pool and watch to see if Old Mr. XXXXX really does try to sing . ''
