Farmer Browns boy kept on his way

that made the very beginning OF the

them dry. for way down on The Green
Meadows the Smiling Pool was nearly
dry. and the Laughing Brook was
nearly dry, and he had supposed that.
OF course. the reason was that n
springs where the Laughing Brook
started were no longer bubbling.
Eut they were! The clear. cold
water came bubbling up out Of the
ground Just as it always had and ran
off down into the Green Forest In a
little stream that would grow and

Laughing Brook. Farmer Browns

With that he started to follow the
little stream which ran gurgling down
into the Green Forest. He had fol-

once. and now he found it just as he
remembered 1t. The farther it ran
the larger it grew. until at last it be-
