what was the noises that mole heard in the woods before he hid in the tree

the mole heared pattering which made him frightened and so he hid in the tree. first pattering sounded like leaves falling but was a rabbit, which told him ''get out fool after he heared more pattering sounding like hail on the dry leaf carpet spread around him. it sounded like it was chasing hunting him after a period of time, so he had no choice but to run, so he made a place in old beech tree and stayed there till the rat came the next day
