Iong1egs the Bfae Heron watched B1Ey
Mink and Little Joe Otter disappear down.
the Laughing Brook. AS long rs they
were In sight he sat without moving, his
head drawn down between his shouidefs
just as II he had nothing more impcr-
tantSto, think about than a morning nap-
But X you had been near enough to have
seen his keen eyes you would never have
suspected him of even thinking OF Q nap
Just as soon as he felt sire that the two
little brown-coated scamps were out OF
sight he stretched his long neck. mp urtil
he was almost twice as tall as he had
been q minute before. He looked this
way and that way to make sure that no
danger was near, spread his great wings
Mapped heavily UP into the air. and then.
with his head once more tucked back boz.
tween his shoulders and bis long legs
straight out behind him, he few out over,
the Green Meadows. and. making big
circle. headed straight for the Smiling
Pool. . ~
All this time Billy Mink and Little Joe
Otter he'd not been 50 far away as Long
legs supposed. They had been hiding
where they could watch him, and the In
stant he spread his wings they started
back Up the Laughing Brook toward the
| Smiling Pool to see what would happen
there You see, they had told Longlegs
that Grandfather Frog was fast asleep
on his big. green fiiy-pad, and they knew
perfectly well that Longiegs was flying
up to the Smiling Pool in the hope that
he could catch Grandfather Frog for. his
breakfast They didn't really mean that
any harm should come to Grandfather
Frog, but they meant that he should
hare great fright You see. they were
like q great many other people. so heed
less and thoughtless that they thought II
fun to frfghten others
'Od course. well waken 0randfather
Frog In time for him to get away with
nothing more than a great scare. said
Little Joe Otter, as they hurried along.
"It WIN be such fun to see his big, goggay
eyes pop out whom he opens them and
sees Longlegs just ready to gobble him
upl And won't Lsonglegs be hopping mad
when we cheat him of the breakfast he
will be SO sure he II going to hayel'
They reached the Smiling Pool before
Longlegs who had taken a roundabout
way and they hid among the bulrushes,
where they could see and not be seem
There's the old fellow Just as I left
him, fast asleep" whispered Billy Mink
Sure enough. there on his big. green
lily-pad sat Grandfather Frog. with his
| eyes shut. At least. they seemed to be
shut. And over on top OF his big house
sat Jerry Muslzrat Jerry seemed to be
too busy opening -fresh-water clam TO
notice anything else, but the truth is he
