rel was nervous little fellow. and wishsl
a selfish creature. and answered him very
illnaturedly II have chosen this place
aud shall build my burrow here, SO help
yourself it you can" and the terrified little
ant scampsred of MS fast - his six tiny
legs could carry his body.
A lazy old marnot came waddling that
way after the squirrel was quite wearicd
and had nearly finished his work.
my impudent friend, said the mar
mot, showing his sharp, long teeth, "you

And he commenced throwing the dust
and sand so rapidly that little Bushy-tail
was glad to hop upon log to wipe his
blinded eyes, aud rattle the dirt from ears
aud hairy coat.
But the marmot had hardly ceased
laughing at the neat trick ho had played
upon weaker animal. when a cunning
fox saw him at his work. and decided to
avail himself Of the same kind Of strategy.
So he lay down at the root Of stump
aud took short nap while the marmot
finished his work. When the hole was
completed, and the laborer was brushing
his brown clothes. washing his face
with his paws, and congratula,ing him.
self on having so nice home in which TO
stay during the cold snowy winter. the
fox suddenly bounded over log, and
frightened him sadly with short, quick
bark.
"A pretty state Of things this is," said
the fox, when one can not be absent
from home long enough to drink at the
rivers without finding trespaser on ones

This is my house, said the marmo,,
II have jus. finished it,"
You are on my grousd, sir, replied the
fox angrily. "and your only safety is in

So the marmot. too, yielded to the pow
