When the white goat was out OF
sight Hal walked down the mountain
a short distance and hid behind a
rock; then he took the pipe from bis
pocket and began to play.
Soon the animals came dancing up
the mountain in the order that they

asleep as the white goat had said.
When they were all out of sight Hal

owls flew out Of a tree to the ground.
They had hardly touched the ground
when they spread out their wings

of the mountain.
BY this time other birds had Joined

Next came the deer, and they were
so graceful that Hal wished they
would not whirl so fast, but they

time.
Then the bears came along. They
looked SO clumsy and awkward as

mouths wide open that Hal almost
laughed aloud.
When the lions went past him Hal
moved farther behind the rocks, but
they did not look to the right or to the
