Just as he was about to strike, his eyes fell upon the black-currant-bush in the top. The currants were big and ripe. He put out his hand, picked one of them and ate it: "What a remarkable thing!" he said. "It's exactly like those in the manor-garden. Goodness knows how it got up there!" "Keeper! Keeper!"

"I have the highest opinion of you," said the willow-tree. "But you are still so small. May I ask your name?" "I am a strawberry-plant," said the sprout. "And one of the best. My own idea is that I am the equal of those which grow in the manor-garden. Just wait till I get my fruit: then we shall see." "Goodness me!" said the willow-tree. "If I could only understand where you came from!"
