LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTnGE
BY THORNTON W. suRoEss.
(CsDyright. 1915. - J. @. LleyA.>

The time was when every single
one OF the little birds and animals
had looked on Farmer Browns boy
a. the chief Of all their enemies and
had hated him just In proportion
a. they feared him. That was In
the days when he had delighted to
chase them and throw stones at
them and hunt them with q terrible
gun. That was before he had begun
to get acquainted with them and
had learned that the little people
Of the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest have feelings just - he has
and know love and 10Y and fear and
suffering Just ~ human people do.
But since he learned all this
Farmer Browns boy has been the
very best friend the little people
have. II took them q long time to
ind out, because, you see. they had
been afraid Of him 90 long that they
were suspicious Of everything he
did, and when he tried to make
friends with them they thought It
was trick to catch them. But pa
thence accomplished q great deal In
this world and Farmer Browns boy
was very patient. He began to un.
derstand just how they felt. and he
didn't blame them q bit, not q bit.
He knew that II he had been In
their place he would have felt Just
the same way. So when they ran
or hew away from him or hid the
moment he came In sight he Just
sighed to think that he should ever
have done things to make them feel
that way. and then tried to do some
thing to show them how his heart
had changed and that he no longer
wanted to harm or brighten them.
In the winter when food was scarce
he put good things to eat where
they could nnd them. When he
found any Of them in trouble he
helped them out Of It.
Little by little they began to un-
derstand that he wanted to be their
friend. Tommy Tit the Chickadee
was one Of the first to realize this.
and Tommy met him half way. It
was not long before Farmer Browns
boy and Tommy were chums and
Tommy's bright little eyes twinkled
with pleasure every time he saw
Farmer Browns boy. Then Chatter.

the Gray Squirrel, and Peter Rab-
bit and Striped Chipmunk and
Johnny Chuck and Mrs. Grouse dis
covered that he was doing his best
to make life easier and happier for
them and little by little they lost
their fear of him. They began to
look on him as a friend. Ho was
forever trying to do something for
them and for the other little people.
After q while some Of them began
to want to do something for him.
They talked It over among them
