`` Where , Little Breeze , where ? '' he begged . `` Follow me , '' cried the Merry Little Breeze , racing off up the Crooked Little Path so fast that Jimmy Skunk lost his breath trying to keep up , for you know Jimmy Skunk seldom hurries . When they came to the big flat stone Jimmy Skunk grasped it with both hands and pulled and pulled . Up came the stone so suddenly that Jimmy Skunk fell over flat on his back . When he had scrambled to his feet there were beetles and beetles , running in every direction to find a place to hide . `` Thank you , thank you , Little Breeze , '' shouted Jimmy Skunk as he started to catch beetles for his breakfast . And the Little Breeze laughed happily as he danced away to join the other Merry Little Breezes on the Green Meadows . There he found them very , very busy , very busy indeed , so busy that they could hardly find time to nod to him . What do you think they were doing ? They were toting gold ! Yes , Sir , toting gold ! And this is how it happened : While the first Little Breeze was showing Peter Rabbit the field of tender young carrots , and while the second Little Breeze was leading Jimmy Skunk to the flat stone and the beetles , the other Merry Little Breezes had found Bumble the Bee . Now Bumble the Bee is a lazy fellow , though he pretends to be the busiest fellow in the world , and they found him grumbling as he buzzed with a great deal of fuss from one flower to another . `` What 's the matter , Bumble ? '' cried the Merry Little Breezes . `` Matter enough , '' grumbled Bumble the Bee . `` I 've got to make a sack of honey , and as if that is n't enough , old Mother Nature has ordered me to carry a sack of gold from each flower I visit to the next flower I visit . If I do n't I can get no honey . Buzz-buzz-buzz , '' grumbled Bumble the Bee .
The Merry Little Breezes looked at the million little flowers on the Green XXXXX , each waiting a sack of gold to give and a sack of gold to receive .
