And roof of mossy green."

They gurgled with joy at this, for by the greatest good luck the branches they had brought were sticky with red sap, and all the ground was carpeted with moss. As they rattled up the little house they broke into song themselves:
Voice Reading
"We've built the little walls and roof
Voice Reading
And made a lovely door,
Voice Reading
So tell us, mother Wendy,
Voice Reading
What are you wanting more?"
Voice Reading
To this she answered greedily:
Voice Reading
"Oh, really next I think I'll have
Voice Reading
Gay windows all about,
Voice Reading
With roses peeping in, you know,
Voice Reading
And babies peeping out."
Voice Reading
With a blow of their fists they made windows, and large yellow leaves were the blinds. But roses-?
Voice Reading
"Roses," cried Peter sternly.
Voice Reading
Quickly they made-believe to grow the loveliest roses up the walls.
Voice Reading
To prevent Peter ordering babies they hurried into song again:
Voice Reading
"We've made the roses peeping out,
Voice Reading
The babes are at the door,
Voice Reading
We cannot make ourselves, you know,
Voice Reading
