and 1t must have been very nutritious, for
the tadpoles grew rapidly. They were get
ting along very nicely, when one day, early
in June, flock OF ducks found their way to
the pond, and when they went away many
hundreds of the infant toads went with
them. Birds also, picked up great many.

were not so many tadpoles by some thou
sands there had been at the beginning
Those which remained, however, were un-
dergoing many changes. Hind legs had APP
peared on most of them, and few had
fore legs well.
Then the tails, which had been of such
service before the coming of their legs, be-
gan to grow smaller and smaller, until they
were entirely absorbed by the body, and
the little creatures were no longer tadpoles
but toads, and as such. ready to leave the
puddle and take up their life upon dry land.
Danger Met on Leaving the Puddle.
The sun was warm. and as the young
toads were very sensitive to the heat, they
lost little time in hiding themselves under
leaves, stones and in other shady places. 1t
was lucky for them that they did this, too;
otherwise they would surely have been de-
voured by the birds, many of which regard
infant toads as a very desirable addition
to the midsummer bill of fare.
AS it was, the blue jays and crows picked
up a good many of them, and number
the next day or two. The survivors, still
some thousands of them, were all lying
safely hidden in the shade. when one bot
day toward the end of July, there came d
sudden heavy shower of rain. Then out
popped every living toadlet for the sake of
the moisture, until the roads and gardens
were alive with little brown jumpers.
And then the people came out of the
houses and watched them, and one and all
declared that they must have come down In

showers of toads rain down from the sky
in just that way; at least they believed they
remembered it, and this was just as good
to them, and as the toads said nothing, the
story was handed down without dispute.
In spite of the fact that the sensitive
little toads hid themselves very carefully
during the warm days, before the cold
weather of autumn appeared, by far the
greater number of them were devoured by
snakes hawks and other birds. and by vart-

these all found retreats under stone heaps.
