He crossed this natural bridge and found himself in a perfect paradise.

Flowers and fruit everywhere, and beautiful wild birds the like of which he had never seen before.
There were rabbits, too, and very tame they were, for they followed him about, and seemed to wonder what he was and where on earth he came from.
Tom knocked one on the head, though he was not cruel, and with this slung over his shoulder, and his pockets full of nuts, he started to walk back.
But I suppose that walking round in a circle had confused him.

Anyhow he walked miles out of his way, and lost himself.

He sat down on a big stone at last, and wondered what he should do.

He was tired and hungry, so he ate a handful of nuts.
