“I know what adventures are,” said Winkie. “They’re things that happen to you.”
“Yes,” agreed Don. “And you have had an adventure this morning.”
“You mean all our family getting lost?” asked Winkie.
“I didn’t hear about that,” said Don. “But that’s an adventure too. No, I meant running away from me and bumping into a tree. That was an adventure.”
[Caused Winkie to bump into a tree full tilt!]
“Not a very pleasant one,” remarked Winkie, smiling.
“Oh, well, there are all sorts of adventures,” said Don. “I have had very many, and they have been put into a book about me, just as have those of Toto, the bustling beaver, about whom I heard you speaking.”
