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 Meadows , each waiting a sack of gold to give and a sack of gold to receive . Then they looked at each other and shouted happily , for they too would now be able to cry `` busy , busy , busy . '' From flower to flower they hurried , each with a bag of gold over his shoulder . Wherever they left a bag they took a bag , and all the little flowers nodded happily to see the Merry Little Breezes at work . Jolly , round , red Mr. Sun climbed higher and higher and higher in the blue sky , where he can look down and see all things , great and small . His smile was broader than ever as he watched the hurrying , scurrying Little Breezes working instead of playing . Yet after all it was a kind of play , for they danced from flower to flower and ran races across bare places where no flowers grew . By and by the Merry Little Breezes met Peter Rabbit . Now Peter Rabbit had made a good breakfast of tender young carrots , so he felt very good , very good indeed . `` Hi ! ''
shouted Peter XXXXX , `` come play with me . ''
