I always return to my old home to sing . You know I was born here . All my family gathers here in the spring to sing , so of course I come too . '' Old Mr. Toad filled out his queer music bag under his chin and began to sing again . Peter watched him . Now it just happened that Old Mr. Toad was facing him , and so Peter looked down straight into his eyes . He never had looked into Mr. Toad 's eyes before , and now he just stared and stared , for it came over him that those eyes were very beautiful , very beautiful indeed . `` Oh ! '' he exclaimed , `` what beautiful eyes you have , Mr. Toad ! '' `` So I 've been told before , '' replied Old Mr. Toad . `` My family always has had beautiful eyes . There is an old saying that every Toad has jewels in his head , but of course he has n't , not real jewels . It is just the beautiful eyes . Excuse me , Peter , but I 'm needed in that chorus . '' Old Mr. Toad once more swelled out his throat and began to sing . Peter watched him a while longer , then hopped away to the dear Old Briarpatch , and he was very thoughtful . `` Never again will I call anybody homely and ugly until I know all about him , '' said Peter , which was a very wise decision . Do n't you think so ? VII A SHADOW PASSES OVER THE SMILING POOL Here 's what Mr. Toad says ; Heed it well , my dear : `` Time to watch for clouds is When the sky is clear . '' He says that that is the reason that he lives to a good old age , does Old Mr. Toad .
I suppose he means that when the sky is cloudy , everybody is looking XXXXX rain and is prepared for it , but when the sun is shining , most people forget that there is such a thing as a storm , so when it comes suddenly very few are prepared for it .
