cried Peter Rabbit , and straightway began to eat his breakfast . Another Merry Little Breeze , slipping up the Crooked Little Path on the hill , spied the hind legs of a fat beetle sticking out from under a flat stone . At once the Little Breeze remembered Jimmy Skunk , who was hunting for beetles for his breakfast . Off rushed the Little Breeze in merry whirls that made the grasses sway and bend and the daisies nod . When after a long , long hunt he found Jimmy Skunk , Jimmy was very much out of sorts . In fact Jimmy Skunk was positively cross . You see , he had n't had any breakfast , for hunt as he would he could n't find a single beetle . When the Merry Little Breeze danced up behind Jimmy Skunk and , just in fun , rumpled up his black and white coat , Jimmy quite lost his temper . In fact he said some things not at all nice to the Merry Little Breeze . But the Merry Little Breeze just laughed . The more he laughed the crosser Jimmy Skunk grew , and the crosser Jimmy Skunk grew the more the Merry Little Breeze laughed . It was such a jolly laugh that pretty soon Jimmy Skunk began to grin a little sheepishly , then to really smile and finally to laugh outright in spite of his empty stomach . You see it is very hard , very hard indeed and very foolish , to remain cross when someone else is perfectly good natured . Suddenly the Merry Little Breeze danced up to Jimmy Skunk and whispered in his right ear . Then he danced around and whispered in his left ear . Jimmy Skunk 's eyes snapped and his mouth began to water . `` 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 XXXXX fell over flat on his back .
