Old Mother Wind was talking with the Tall Tree in the forest, "I passed by the grass just now, and there I saw the Best Thing in the World."
Bobby Mouse heard those
words
1
. "The Best Thing in the World—
what
2
can that be? It must be delicious nuts! I'll find them." Bobby Mouse was running towards the grass so
fast
3
that he didn't see Peter Rabbit. "Why are you in such a
hurry
4
?" Peter Rabbit asked.
"To find the Best Thing in the World."
"The Best Thing in the World? That must be carrots. I'll
join
5
you," Peter Rabbit said.
Before long, they met Johnny Chuck and he asked the
same
6
question as Peter Rabbit.
"To find the Best Thing in the World! Would you like to join us?" they shouted.
"The Best Thing in the World?" said Johnny Chuck. "
Nothing
7
is more wonderful than my own little home. I will never go with you!" He stayed at home and played among the flowers
happily
8
. Bobby Mouse and Peter Rabbit ran far and fast all day long and still they didn't find the Best Thing in the World. When the
night
9
came, they started going back home.
"Did you find the Best Thing in the World?" asked Mother Wind. "No!" They were very sad.
"Johnny Chuck has it," she said. "You should be
happy
10
with the things you have. The Best Thing in the World is already around you."
