"Oh, oh, oh! That is no home for us. Some one lives there, now," he said.
"Who, who, who?" asked all the little mice at once.
Mr. Toad came out to the edge of the hole, winking and blinking.
"I do," he said. "This is my home. Who came to visit me?"
"I told you that some one lived there," chattered Sammy Red Squirrel.
"I told you, but you would not listen to me."
"Well, there is no harm done," said Mr. Mouse. "I just paid Mr. Toad a visit."
"We must find a home any way," said Mrs. Mouse. "If we stay here the cat will catch us."
"There comes the cat now," said Sammy. "She heard Mr. Mouse squeal when he came out of the hole."
When the mice heard that the cat was coming, what a scampering there was.
