So the Great Beaver tossed up the
ball. Before It could come to the
ground the flying squirrel sprang from
his tree and caught It. Then he ran
up to the very top Of the tree on which
he had lighted and threw the ball to
the Great Eagle.
Back and forth In the air went the
ball, while the animals down below
ran round and round wondering how
they were to get chance at 1t. From
the Great Eagle the ball was tossed to
the hawk, and when the hawk had car
ried 1t half way to the goal he passed
It to the bat. Now, the bat had just
got his wings that morning-the birds
had made them for him out Of some
thin pieces Of grounding skin which
had been stretched over the head Of
q drum-and he was not quite used to
them.
As the bat darted (and lodged
through the air his new wings got
tangled in his hind feet and he had to
drop the ball in order to get them
loosened.
Now we have the BALI" cried the
Great Bear, running like the big,
clumsy fellow he was. He stopped for
just a second to shout over his shout
der to the Great Terrapin, who was
coming close behind:
Il will carry it half way. and then
l will toss the ball to you!"
But while the bear was speaking
these words. the fork-tailed martin
came straight down from far above the
tree.tops like swift arrow, and darted
upon the ball. AS the martin rose
from the ground with the ball he just
had room to get past the big mouth
of the rushing bear.
All day the ball game went on, and,
as the sun was going down, the Great
Beaver said that the birds had won.
And when all the birds came to the
place OF roosts for the night the Great
Eagle wouldn't let them go to sleep
until they had found a good reward
for the martin who had saved the ball
for them.
And the best reward they could
think OF was to give the martin a
gourd for a nest, and he was so proud
OF it that he has kept it to this day.
