00:00:02.420 --> 00:00:03.750 align:middle line:90%
I'll read a children's poem.

00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:06.300 align:middle line:84%
At least, it comes from
a children's story--

00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:13.050 align:middle line:84%
Peter Rabbit, which I hadn't
read for 20 years until time

00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:15.900 align:middle line:84%
came for me to read
it for my daughter.

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:22.110 align:middle line:84%
And suddenly, I could
approach it very freshly.

00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:23.820 align:middle line:90%
And I had I forgotten it.

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:27.735 align:middle line:84%
And as I read, I
wrote down some lines.

00:00:27.735 --> 00:00:35.730 align:middle line:90%


00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:36.540 align:middle line:90%
"Peter Rabbit."

00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:40.230 align:middle line:90%


00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:45.390 align:middle line:84%
"Mushrooms grew near the tree,
nearly black with foliage.

00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:49.200 align:middle line:84%
Each footfall was
a special touch.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.020 align:middle line:84%
Mother Rabbit wore a
carrot-colored jacket

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:54.270 align:middle line:90%
and a broad purple skirt.

00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:57.240 align:middle line:90%
She was beyond hopping.

00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.460 align:middle line:90%
Over her paw, a basket.

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:01.830 align:middle line:90%
Her forearm, umbrella.

00:01:01.830 --> 00:01:04.830 align:middle line:84%
'No, no, no,' we're
waiting for her to demand.

00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:08.820 align:middle line:90%
She looks that way, though kind.

00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:11.160 align:middle line:90%
Father, father's in the pie.

00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:12.730 align:middle line:90%
It was an accident.

00:01:12.730 --> 00:01:15.630 align:middle line:90%
It was a stupid way to die.

00:01:15.630 --> 00:01:18.810 align:middle line:84%
Peter knows how to
be very naughty.

00:01:18.810 --> 00:01:22.470 align:middle line:84%
There is a shimmer about
the lettuce, French beans,

00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:28.890 align:middle line:84%
radishes, and parsley,
of evil, or of humanity.

00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:29.895 align:middle line:90%
Peter is a thief.

00:01:29.895 --> 00:01:33.380 align:middle line:90%


00:01:33.380 --> 00:01:36.980 align:middle line:90%
Peter my hero, I am a thief.

00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:40.370 align:middle line:90%
Peter, I am a child.

00:01:40.370 --> 00:01:45.020 align:middle line:84%
Peter was most dreadfully
frightened, and shed big tears.

00:01:45.020 --> 00:01:50.240 align:middle line:84%
Mr. McGregor was upon him
with his size huge shoe.

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.220 align:middle line:90%
Of course we are going to win.

00:01:52.220 --> 00:01:55.400 align:middle line:84%
Lippity, lippity, we
wander with puzzled Peter.

00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.250 align:middle line:84%
But I don't want the
story to be over.

00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:02.495 align:middle line:84%
They will make us wash the green
from our hands and our knees."

00:02:02.495 --> 00:02:07.220 align:middle line:90%


00:02:07.220 --> 00:02:07.880 align:middle line:90%
I was worried.

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:08.922 align:middle line:90%
There's a line in there--

00:02:08.922 --> 00:02:10.460 align:middle line:90%
I am a thief.

00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:12.920 align:middle line:84%
There's a woman who thinks
I break into her house

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:14.720 align:middle line:90%
to steal her lines.

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:17.030 align:middle line:90%
And I hope she never sees this.

00:02:17.030 --> 00:02:18.940 align:middle line:90%
It'll be proof.

00:02:18.940 --> 00:02:20.000 align:middle line:90%
