"Any way we are together," said they.
But at that moment one of the brothers rolled from the bag on the floor. The seedsman picked him up, and he found himself tossed into a bag of peas.
"It is all right," said he; "I shall find my brother in time."
But though he rolled about as much as he could, he could not find him; for the truth is, that he had been put by mistake into a paper of eating peas; but he did not know this.
"Patience!" cried he; "we shall be sown shortly, and when we come up we shall find each other, if not before."
The other Pea thought that his brother was in the bag with him, and when he could not find him he consoled himself in the same manner.
"When we come up we shall find each other, if not before."
They were both sold in company with others, and they were both sown. No. 1 was sown in a cosy little garden near a cosy little cottage in the country. No. 2 was sown in a field, being intended for the market.
They both came up and made leaves, and budded and blossomed, and the first thing each did when he opened his petals was to look round for his brother.
