Teddy began collecting his things...

THE NURSERY
"Deep breathing now," said Elizabeth.

TEDDY LEAVES HOME
"I don't think I can have an adventure sitting here. Do you think so, Owly?" He said the last few words aloud. The other part was thinking. Then he wished he had not spoken, for he wanted the adventure to be a secret.
Hanky, Biscuits, Honey, a little string, a knife--in case, a man's proper leather purse. Three tiddly-wink counters. He called them pennies. One was blue, one red, and one green. Walking-stick! He put on an important sort of grown-up look. "P'raps I'll write."
"Writing paper, one envelope, one stamp."

TEDDY BEGINS HIS ADVENTURES
Now his legs were not very long, and soon his strides became shorter, then shorter still.

TEDDY SAVES THE LIFE OF A LITTLE GIRL
I'll pay, said Teddy, feeling very grand

TEDDY KEEPS A SCHOOL
Teddy felt a little anxious about the school, for, truth to tell, he wasn't a very clever little bear. He knew that an island was a piece of land with water all around it--
My dear Mummy,
I am having wonderful adventures. I will tell you all about it some day. Love to John and Owly.
EDWARD BEAR, ESQUIRE, HEADMASTER.

TEDDY SLEEPS IN A TREE
"Now listen to this," he said. "'The rat ran away when it saw the cat.'"
They gazed at him open-mouthed. What learning!
"Now the reading lesson is done," said Teddy. "Geography next."
"What is an island, children?"
Silence.
Cock-robin, Sparrow, Jenny Wren, and Blue Tit sometimes came too.

TEDDY SEES FAIRIES
They rowed very quietly up to the island

TEDDY DECIDES TO GO HOME
Teddy writes in his little blue notebook:
SAVED THE LIFE OF A FAT LITTLE GIRL
BEING HEADMASTER
SLEPT IN A TREE
TELEGRAMS
FAIRIES
Never again, surely, would they roll him on the nursery floor and call him "Fatkins."

THE HOUSE IN THE WOOD
"Not a bad idea," said John. "But I can remember things without a notebook. If you write down everything, Teddy, you'll spoil your memory."
But Teddy didn't know what that meant. He wrote:
BIG STICKS
LITTLE STICKS
LITTLEST STICKS
CONES
MOSS
STICKY MUD
Teddy and Owly worked very hard

MUMMY COMES
"I don't think it's light enough for tomorrow," he thought.
To-morrow soon came; it generally does when you go to sleep quickly.
It was the very loveliest party.

THEY ALL GO HOME
Owly was murmuring, "I thoughted of the best adventure. Nobody ever had such nice people to tea"; and as he was so young they didn't contradict him.
