The Garden Gate

Peter jumped out of the watering can. “ Hey! ” cried the farmer.

Peter ran and ran. Finally the farmer stopped chasing him.

Now Peter was lost. “ Where’s the gate?” he asked a mouse. But the mouse ran away.

Suddenly Peter gasped. “ A cat! ” The cat was watching fish in the pond. She didn't see Peter.

“ Whew! ” whispered Peter. He quietly slipped away. “ I must find the gate! ” said Peter.

Scritch, scratch! Peter heard a noise. He climbed onto a wheelbarrow to see. The farmer was working in the onion patch.
