"A the sands have seen starfish.
They are very common. But /
don't suppose you know that the
starfish has legs, do you? He does not
want TO use them as he sits on the sand,
but II you lift him carefully and put him
in a clean pool with stones at the bot
tom. you will see him glide over the
stones. up one side Of a rock and down
the other.
Now, pick him up quickly and look at
his underside, and you will see fieshy
white legs, which will be drawn up into
his body again when not required.
Starfsh's mouth is in the middle OF
the underside Of his body, and he can
eat snellfsh. He puts them in. sucks
out the fish, and turns the shell out of
his mouth just as you would a grape
skin. The larger kinds of starfish are
very fond of eating oysters, and. know
ing this, the fishermen used to try to
get rid of the oysters enemies by tear
ing in two any that lay on the shore,
and throwing the bits into the sea. But
Mr. Starfish didn't care at all. He can
always grow a new ray If one is
broken off, so where there had only
been one starfish before there would
now be two. Isn't this wonderful?

choked with mud and sand-a very dull

The woman was in no wise discour

she would see that the load reached

warm champion of the dwarf, laughed
at the idea, and, walking away called
