So the family of rabbits hopped off along the path.
Then Sammy heard a little squeaking noise and he looked to see where it came from.
"Squeak, squeak!" said Mrs. Field Mouse. "I was not ready to move.
"I did not want to leave my home in the field this week."
"We can soon find another home," said Mr. Field Mouse.
"Here is one right here. This is the very place we are looking for."
Mr. Mouse set his bag down beside a hole that he had found near the stone wall.
Mrs. Mouse looked at the hole and so did all the little mice.
"Perhaps that will do until we can go back to our home in the sunny field," said Mrs. Mouse.
Then she shook her head and wiped a tear from her eye.
