As they came to the grasshopper he asked them:
“What are you going to do now? I think you had better go home.”
“No, no!” they answered. “We are going to see the beautiful world. That is what we started for, and we do not intend to give it up.”
“I am very sorry I cannot help you,” said the grasshopper. “But I will introduce you to Mrs. Field Mouse, as I promised. She may tell you the way. Oh! here we are at her door.”
