strange wall of logs and sticks and
mud. and then, Of course. he would
see just what was on the other side.
So Spotty the Turtle wasted no more
time wishing that he could do ome
thing it was e that he
should do. Instead. he picked out
what looked like the easiest place to
climb the bank and started up. My.
had to carry his house along with
him, for he has to carry that wherever
he goes. n it would have been hard
enough to have climbed that bank
without carrying anything. Every
time he had climbed up three steps
he slipped back two steps. But he
kept at it. putting and blowing, say
ing over and over to himself:
81 can If I will, and I will if I can:
There's nothing can stop me If I stick
to this plan"
Half way up the bank Spotty lost
his balance, the house he wa carrying
just tipped him right over backward
and down he rolled to the place he had
started from.
II needed to cool off" said Spotty to
himself. and slid into a little pool of
water. linen ne IrleQ The Ddnk again,
and just as before he slipped back two

he shut his mouth tight and kept at it,
and by and by he was up to the place
from which he had tunbled. There he
stopped to get his breath.

said he and started on again. Twice
more he tumbled clear down to the
place he had started from, but each
time he laughed at himself and tried
again. And at last he reached the top
of the bank.

would If I could. and 1 have!" he
cried.
Then he hurried to see what was
behind the strange wall. What do you
think it was? Why. a pond. Yes, sir.
there was a pond right in the middle
Of the Green Forest. Trees were COM
ing up right out Of the middle Of it,
but it was a sure enough pond. Spotty
found it harder work to believe his
own eyes now than when he had first

Laughing Brook.
"Why, why, why, what does 1t

Billy Mink. who came hurrying- up

spotty the Turtle was awake by the
time the first rays of the rising sun
began to creep through the Green
Forest. He was far, far up the Laugh
ing Brook. very much farther than
he had eve been before. and as he
yawned and stretched he wondered If,
after all. he hadn't dreamed about the
wall of logs an dsticks and mud across
the Laughing Brook. When he had
rubbed the last sleepy-wink out Of his
eyes he looked again. There it was,
just as he had seer 1t the night be-
fore!
Then Spotty knew that it was real,
inc he began to wonder what was on
the other side of 1t. II cannot climb
1t, for my legs were never made for
climbing said Spotty, m%ournfully, as
he looked at his funny little black
feet. ooh dear. / wish that I could
climb like Happy Jack Squirrel" Just
then a thought popped into his head
and chased away the little frown that
had crept into Spotty's face. perhaps
Happy Jack sometimes wishes hat
he could swim as / can. so l guess
We are e I can't climb, but he
can't swim. How foolish it is to wish
for things lever meant for you!"
thought Spotty.
And with that all the discomfort left
Spotty the Turtle. and he began to
study how he could make the most of
his short legs and his perseverance, Of
which, as you already know, he had a
great deal. He looked this way and he
looked that way. and he saw that IL
he could climb to the top Of the bank
