Prickly Porky was so surprised that
he nearly choked on piece of bark he
was eating. funny look came into
his dull little eyes. why, Sammy"
said he. you couldn't be Quaddy IL
you wanted to-
why not?" demanded Sammy 81
guess I'm just as good as Chatterer
the Red Squirrel. and he's Quaddy.
l don't want to join your old Quaddies
anyway. just want to know what
one has to do to join"
Now Prickly Porky may be slow Of
wit. but he wasn't SO slow as to be
fooled by Sammy when he said that
he didn't want to be Quaddy He
knew that Sammy was not honest when
he said that. He suspected that Sammy
was just trying to fool himself, but
the very fact that he wanted to know
what to do to become a Quaddy was
| proof enough that he did want to be
one.
1T won't be the least bit of use for
you to know what to do because YOU
can't be one anyway" he replied.
| You are not quadruped, and a
Qmaddy is little quadruped"
what's quadrupedo" demanded
Sammy suspiciously
| An animal with four feet" replied
Prick1y Porky.

Cav. cav. caw.' shouted Blacky the
Crow. Now is your chance to show
what you are going to do to the Quad
dies"
Reddy had an angry retort on the
tip of his tongue. but he didn't let it
slip out. Instead he tried very hard
to smile. He didn't dare touch Prickly
Porky and he knew that the others
all knew it. eff all the Quaddies were
like Prickly Porky l should want to be
a Quaddy myself said he, with very
low bow to Prickly Porky. II have
too much respect for our neighbor of
the Green Forest to have the least
desire to do him any harm" With this
Reddy made another low bow and then
marched off with what he imagined
was very much the air of a gentleman.

Blacky the Crow remembered that he
had to be over on the Green Meadows
shortly and flew away. This left
Sammy Jay alone with Prickly Porky.
Now, despite the fact that Sammy had
made fun of the Quaddies, right down
in his heart he wanted to be one of
them. Why? Well. the truth is Sammy
wants to be in everything that is going
on He can't bear to be left out. So
when he was left alone with Prickly
Porky the first thing he did was to
look all about to be sure that no one
else was within hearing. Then he flew
over into the tree where Prickly Porky
was busily filing his stomach with
bark.
Say" said he. what does one have to
do to be a Quaddy?"
