Billy Raccoon stuck his head out OF

that one would think Billy couldn't

and listened carefully.

was what he said every night when he
started out from his tree, it isn't likely
that he was as near starvation as he
thought! But at any rate, he was
hungry enough to make himself risk
the dangers and search for food
Out from his hole he crept, down
the tree he crawled slowly, carefully,
his ears pricked all the while Tor any
unusual sound.
But none came. Thus treasured, he
left the tree behind and started for
the cornfield.
He had often congratulated himself
on his good sense in living near the
cornfield. Why he had but a very
little way to go till he could crawl
under the tall rail fence and there he
wasi Right in the midst of as good
a feast as any raccoon could possibly
wish for. And was there anything on
earth so good as fresh, sweet, juicy
corn, such as grew in that particular
cornfield? Billy was perfectly sure
there was noti
Down under the fence he ducked
just as a soft swish overhead reminded
him to lay lowi

So he snuggied down quiet and still
and awaited further developments.
"who-o? Who-o?" asked a mourn
full voice, in a tree just over the fence.
That's a joke on me-" laughed Billy,
as he crept on out from under the
fence, here that was old Mr.. Owl,
and 1 didn't recognize him till he be-
gan to talk" Billy started on to the
cornfield, stopping only to call softly
over his shoulder, Good evening to
you, Mr.. Owl, this is a fine night"
And who-o, who-o are you?" asked
the owl sadly.
