 It was one of those summery days when the air is heavy and warm
and nobody wants to do very much. Jonathan and Robbit were
resting on top of one of Moley's hummocks, relaxing and watching the
rest of the world go by. Jonathan could feel the sun's warmth through
his shell and it was making him feel comfortable and drowsy. He
wriggled contentedly. Last night, before he'd gone to bed, Jonathan
had taken off his shell and given it a special polish, and this morning it
gleamed in the sunlight. Beside him on the soft warm molehill, Robbit
lay on his back, his paws behind his head, gazing up at the clear blue
sky, thinking about things in his own rabbity way.
 "Why do nettles have stings?" He asked suddenly
 Jonathan had just begun to doze off, and woke with a start
 "Why do nettles have what?" He asked, not quite awake.
 "Stings," Robbit scratched one of his ears in a comfortable, absent-
minded sort of way.
 Jonathan pondered, his head tilted to one side as he thought.
 "I suppose," He said eventually, "They have stings so nobody will eat
them."
 "That's silly," Said Robbit, "Nobody'd want to eat a rotten old
nettle, anyway: they're all tough and stringy."

attention before you even reach the
bottom of your....
