Long ago," he said, "I thought like you that my mother would always keep the window open for me; so I stayed away for moons and moons and moons, and then flew back; but the window was barred, for mother had forgotten all about me, and there was another little boy sleeping in my bed."I am not sure that this was true, but Peter thought it was true; and it scared them."Are you sure mothers are like that?""Yes."So this was the truth about mothers. The toads!
