 ~~~~.~~~~~~N~ ~N~~~-~~~~--~-~-~~~-~ JACK RABBIT HELPS MISTER FOX ,
 Jack Rabbit was rather Worrled I about Mister Fox with the bone in his throat, although never hlmself having had such an accident ne scarcely appreciated the pain that Mister Fox was suffering. He went to Farmer Wilson's house and tried to get the tongs, but the family were all about, and he saw no way to do It.
 What shall do?" he said to him. self, and then he thought. "1f l was suffering I really think that Mister
 Fox would be willing to run cons1d- erable risk to help me, and l ought
 to be willing to do as much for him.
 If can only get the people out or
 the house I could go in and get the
 tongs." .
 But how to get the people out of
 the house he did not know. All at
 once he said to himself: ~I suppose
 that if they thought they could catch |
 me they would come out, because they | |
 make" And, thinking this, he said
 to himself: "I will go out where they
 can see me, make believe am lame,
 and then they will try to catch me-
 So Jack Rabbit, dragging one leg
 behind him, as if it had been 1n-
 iured. stepped boldly out into the
 yard. He had been there only min
 ute before Mrs. Wilson, looking out of the window, saw him. Come, children" she called, land see the rabbit out in the yard. l wish your l father was here, for he could shoot ], it and then we would have rabbit stew"
 } And, look, he is lame." said one of 3 the children. Perhaps we could ] catch him. I do not believe he could j. run very fast" And with that Mrs. B Wilson and all the children came rum :, ming out into the yard. Jack Rabbit, c when he saw them coming, started to |, move away, but, dragging his leg after 2 him, he ran only as fast as needed t to keep out of their way, and make d them think that in minute or two
 they would be able to catch him. But
 all the time he was running away 2 from the house and Mrs. Wilson ana the children were getting farther and
 farther away from the open door into y the kitchen. For ten minutes or so
 he let them chase him down the dus-
 ty road.
 Now" said Jack Rabbit to him a self, cit is about time for me to get ts over being lame," and, with long '' jump, he leaped over the ditch at the ID side of the road, went under the - fence. and turning, ran, as fast as )l rabbit can run, back toward the - house.
 s That rabbit got over the lameness u mighty quick" said Mrs. Wilson, as se she saw Jack taking long jumps bacl ls over the field. 'I wonder if he wal lo II, playing a joke on us?" But both sht and the children were too tired tt ni hurry on the way back, and whel .s .s Jack Rabbit got to the house he foun' .s he had plenty of time to go in an' nE get the tongs without any danger O m getting caught.
 70 And when he got back to MT. Fox
 house, MT. Fox was, indeed, very gla '1p, to see him. The next question wa D how was Jack Rabbit, who was muc ;r smaller than MT. Fox, going to reac H down ,his throat and get the bone. Bu eA Jack Rabbit suggested that if MT. Flo 'e would lie down on the ground an ou. open his mouth he would be able t ~, see where the bone was and get VI it. So Mister Fox went up to tn s top of the hill and lay down so ths ley when he opened his mouth the su
 ~. would shine down his throat, an W Jack Rabbit, tongs in hand, got whel .i he could look straight down Mist' ot Fox's throat.
 ,o, "It certainly looks very sore, sa .1. Jack Rabbit, "but I cane see the CT he, of. the bone, and if youswill only kee an. still I am sure can get it." Mist cs, Fox kept as still as he could al do, Jack Rabbit got hold of the end ~ the bone in a minute, and with ma, quick pull out it came.
 He "You are certainly fine surgeon and said Mister Fox, holding on to h ifs throat. q think you can hurt yo pro- patients just as much as any of thel ess But I thank you very much, even ella you did hurt me, because l know " fer did it for my good. And that lea est me to say that there are very mai olis animals and very many boys and gil
 who cry about things which are do
 for their good and which if they we
 not done would result in much mo ,iah suffering. There is one little girl tn eeu I know that cries every time her hf : a at is combed. but just think what h ;s,o head would look like when she grt .t,o up if her mother never combed it ,v . And know boy who whines a one complalIs Eecause nie o .,
