"There is no school now," said the grasshopper, as he sat on a daisy flower, "but I am hopping along to get out of danger." "Danger? What danger is there around here?" asked the rabbit. "Do you see a fox, or anything like that?" "No, but don't you hear that dreadful noise?" asked the grasshopper. "Listen, and you will hear it. It scared me so that I went away as fast as I could."
