Bumpy, Grumpy and Frumpy, the
three little Possums who were out
to see tho Great World, had been
away from the old hollow tree where
they were born for SO long that they
felt quite as IL they had been out
in the Great World always. This was
their third day. and three days Ia
strange places can seem like very
long time TO little folks, you know.
Bumpy was still very sore from the
bumps he had got when he fell from
the tree In which he had mistaken
Prickly Porky the Porcupine for an
old nest. He was very quiet as he
trudged along behind the others.
Somehow the frights that Frumpy
and Grumpy had had when they
poked their heads into hollow trees
and found others there before them
didn't seem funny at all now. Be
fore his own fright he had chuckled
and chuckled every time he had
thought Of how they had run. Now
they were chuckling at him, and he
couldn't see anything funny in 1t
at all.
Presently they came to the Lone
Little Path. Frumpy wanted TO go
down the Lone Little Path Grumpy
wanted to go up the Lone Little
Path, and Bumpy wanted 70 cross It
and keep on where there was no
path at all. So very folishly they
fell to quarreling.
I'm the biggest, so OF course I'm
the leader, and you have to do as
say said Grumpy rather GROSSLY.
NO such thing" declared Frum-
by. "Im the smartest, and the
smartest always is the leader Well
go down the Lone Little Path"
Neither OF you can lead me-" an
nounced Bumpy. You ought to
know that where there Is path
there will surely be people TO use 1t.
Whether we go up or down it we
will be almost sure to meet some
one. and it will be as likely to be
an enemy as not. too. So we'll keep
straight on where there is no path"
ooh, We will will WEI" snapped
Grumpy. We'll, we won't do any.

But to this Frumpy and Bumpy

quarreled. Each grew angrier and
angrier as he tried to make the 9th

people who lose their temper they
forgot everything else. They forgot
that they were now out In the Great
World with dangers on every side.
They forgot to watch out.
And this is how 1t happened that
old Granny Fox on her way down
the Lone Little Path came very. very
near to breakfasting on tender
young Postum. She had been trot-
ting along with nothing In particular
on her mind. but watching out every
minute as she always does. when
right ahead Of her she saw the three
little Possums. She stopped Instant
ly and her eyes snapped with pleas
ure. Here was feast indeed. She
looked this way and that way on AL
sides to make sure that old Mrs.
Postum was nowhere near. Whea
she was sure Of this she began To
creep forward very, very slowly and
carefully. putting each foot down
with the greatest care so as not to
so much as rustic a leaf. She was
almost within springing distance
when Bumpy Just happened to turn
and look up the Lone Little Path. He
never had seen Granny Fox before
but he remembered what his mother
had told him about her red coat and
and he didn't wait for another look.
With a warning cry he scrambled
up a tree at the foot Of which they
had been Quarreling. ana without
looking to see what the trouble Was
the others followed him. Then from
the first branches they looked down
at Granny Fox.
