FIRST STORY...

The Wind in the Willows (-:
The Mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated.
As he sat on the grass and looked across the river, a dark hole in the bank opposite, just above the water's edge, caught his eye ...
As he gazed, something bright and small seemed to twinkle down in the heart of it, vanished, then twinkled once more like a tiny star. But it could hardly be a star in such an unlikely situation ...
Then, as he looked, it winked at him, and so declared itself to be an eye; and a small face began gradually to grow upround it, like a frame round a picture.
A brown little face, with whiskers.
A grave round face, with the same twinkle in its eye that had first attracted his notice.
Small neat ears and thick silky hair. It was the Water Rat!
Then the two animals stood and regarded each other cautiously.
"Hullo, Mole!" said the Water Rat. "Hullo, Rat!" said the Mole.		END... <3
