PREFACE 



TOMMY-ANNE and Waddles went out of doors 

 to find Reason Why, and I have tried to tell you 

 how they found him. 



The winds whispered to Tommy-Anne, and 

 the birds sang to her; she knew that they bore 

 messages, but she could not understand them 

 until Heart of Nature came to help her. 



Reason Why is always roving about the fields 

 and woods, often creeping indoors, or sunning 

 himself in winter in a warm garden corner. Go 

 out and question him for yourselves, you healthy, 

 happy children. If the weather is very cold, 

 coax him in by the fireside. You will find that 

 the Three Hearts are always ready to interpret 

 for you, for the thing that they love best is the 

 pure child-heart, whether its owner is seven or 

 seventy.
