Peter and Old Mr. Toad sat in the rain watching the tiny Toads , who , you know , were Mr. Toad 's children , leaving their kindergarten in the Smiling Pool and starting out to see the Great World . When the last little Toad had passed them , Old Mr. Toad suddenly remembered that he was hungry , very hungry indeed . `` Did n't have time to eat much while I was in the Smiling Pool , '' he explained . `` Could n't eat and sing too , and while I was down there , I was supposed to sing . Now that it is time to quit singing , I begin to realize that I 've got a stomach to look out for as well as a voice . See that bug over there on that leaf ? Watch him . '' Peter looked , and sure enough there was a fat bug crawling along on an old leaf . He was about two inches from Old Mr. Toad , and he was crawling very fast . And right while Peter was looking at him he disappeared . Peter turned to look at Old Mr. Toad . He had n't budged . He was sitting exactly where he had been sitting all the time , but he was smacking his lips , and there was a twinkle of satisfaction in his eyes . Peter opened his eyes very wide . `` Wha -- what -- '' he began . `` Nice bug , '' interrupted Old Mr. Toad . `` Nicest bug I 've eaten for a longtime . '' `` But I did n't see you catch him ! '' protested Peter , looking at Old Mr. Toad as if he suspected him of joking . `` Anything wrong with your eyes ? ''
inquired Old Mr. XXXXX .
