Read the excerpt from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.

The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning
his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders

had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over
his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms.
