Mrs. Duck and Mr. RabbitMr. Rabbit said1 to Mrs. Duck, "Come and work with me and you will get more money than you have ever2 had3 before." Mrs. Duck said, "I will come."So Mrs. Duck worked with Mr. Rabbit. After some time Mrs. Duck said to Mr. Rabbit, "I want to buy some things; please give me some of the money which we have got4."Mr. Rabbit said, "Things have gone very badly5. I have no money to give you now."Mrs. Duck knew that this was6 not so; she knew that Mr. Rabbit has the money, but that he did7 not want to give it to Mrs. Duck. But Mrs. Duck said nothing. She went away; and she thought8 and thought. She did not go to sleep at night, but stayed awake9 thinking10. She was thinking how she could11 get the money from Mr. Rabbit.
One day Mrs. Duck came12 to Mr. Rabbit and said, "I do not want that money now; I have found13 a great big hole near the river; the hole is full of gold. It is full to the top; I never saw14 so much gold. It is more than I can take away; will you help me to take it away?"Mr. Rabbit said, "Yes, I shall15 be glad to help you.
So Mr. Rabbit and Mrs. Duck went down the road to the river. When they came to the side16 of the river, Mrs. Duck said, "it is on the other side of the river." ' How shall I get over the water?" asked Mr. Rabbit. " Sit on my back," said Mrs. Duck, "and I will take you over."So Mr. Rabbit sat17 on Mrs. Duck's back, and Mrs. Duck went into the water. When Mrs. Duck was far from the side, she said, "Now I shall go down into the water, and you will fall from my back into the water.""But I shall be killed18!" said Mr. Rabbit.
"Yes," answered Mrs. Duck, "so you will. But you did not give me my money for the work which I did with you.""I hid19 the money in a pot20 in my house. Take me home and I will give it to you," said Mr. Rabbit.
Mrs. Duck said, "I will take you home, and we will go to your house at once, and you shall give it to me.
So Mr. Rabbit gave21 Mrs. Duck the money.
Mr. Rabbit was afraid of Mrs. Duck after that.
