QUACK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMake a new acquaintance every time you can;   You'll find it\u003cbr\u003einteresting and a very helpful plan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt means more knowledge. You cannot meet any one without learning\u003cbr\u003esomething from him if you keep your ears open and your eyes open.\u003cbr\u003eEvery one is at least a little different from every one else, and\u003cbr\u003ethe more people you know, the more you may learn. Peter Rabbit\u003cbr\u003eknows this, and that is one reason he always is so eager to find out\u003cbr\u003eabout other people. He had left Jimmy Skunk and Bobby Coon in the\u003cbr\u003eGreen Forest and had headed for the Smiling Pool to see if Grandfather\u003cbr\u003eFrog was awake yet. He had no idea of meeting a stranger there, and\u003cbr\u003eso you can imagine just how surprised he was when he got in sight\u003cbr\u003eof the Smiling Pool to see some one whom he never had seen before\u003cbr\u003eswimming about there. He knew right away who it was. He knew that\u003cbr\u003eit was Mrs. Quack the Duck, because he had often heard about her. And\u003cbr\u003ethen, too, it was very clear from her looks that she was a cousin\u003cbr\u003eof the ducks he had seen in Farmer Brown's dooryard. The difference\u003cbr\u003ewas that while they were big and white and stupid-looking, Mrs.\u003cbr\u003eQuack was smaller, brown, very trim, and looked anything but stupid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter was so surprised to see her in the Smiling Pool that he almost\u003cbr\u003eforgot to be polite. I am afraid he stared in a very impolite way\u003cbr\u003eas he hurried to the edge of the bank. \"I suppose,\" said Peter,\u003cbr\u003e\"that you are Mrs. Quack, but I never expected to see you unless I\u003cbr\u003eshould go over to the Big River, and that is a place I never have\u003cbr\u003evisited and hardly expect to because it is too far from the dear\u003cbr\u003eOld Briar-patch. You are Mrs. Quack, aren't you?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes,\" replied Mrs. Quack, \"and you must be Peter Rabbit. I've heard\u003cbr\u003eof you very often.\" All the time Mrs. Quack was swimming back and\u003cbr\u003eforth and in little circles in the most uneasy way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I hope you've heard nothing but good of me,\" replied Peter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs. Quack stopped her uneasy swimming for a minute and almost\u003cbr\u003esmiled as she looked at Peter, \"The worst I have heard is that you\u003cbr\u003eare very curious about other people's affairs,\" said she.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter looked a wee, wee bit foolish, and then he laughed right out.\u003cbr\u003e\"I guess that is true enough,\" said he. \"I like to learn all I can,\u003cbr\u003eand how can I learn without being curious? I'm curious right now.\u003cbr\u003eI'm wondering what brings you to the Smiling Pool when you never\u003cbr\u003ehave been here before. It is the last place in the world I ever\u003cbr\u003eexpected to find you.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"That's why I'm here,\" replied Mrs. Quack. \"I hope others feel the\u003cbr\u003esame way. I came here because I just HAD to find some place where\u003cbr\u003epeople wouldn't expect to find me and so wouldn't come looking for\u003cbr\u003eme. Little Joe Otter saw me yesterday on the Big River and told me\u003cbr\u003eof this place, and so, because I just had to go somewhere, I came\u003cbr\u003ehere.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079742013680,"sku":"2940013929463","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013929463_p0.jpg?v=1763597357","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013929463","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
