Frumpy's Great Adventure.
Stop and look and listen, too,
In places which are new to you.

Frumpy had been taught that by old
Mrs. Possum just as soon as he was
big enough to begin to poke that sharp
little. INCLUSIVE nose of his into all
kinds OF places.
But now that he was out in the Great
World with his brothers. Bumpy and
Grumpy. he thought himself above such
simple things as these early lessons, or
else he forgot. Probably he forgot
Forgetting Is SO easy. you know. espe-
cially when you are having a good
time and there are ever so many new
things to see and do.
Frumpy had spied hole not very far
up In a dead tree. It was an interest
ing-looking hole. II he had been older
and wiser In the ways of the Great
World he would have known at once
that it had been made by Drummer the
Woodpecker. and he would have known
too. that 1t had been made that very
spring. But Frumpy was just a heed
less young Possum intent on pokins
his nose into every hole he found. just
to see what was there. Grumpy and
Bumpy were busy investigating an old
stump 1t would be fun to climb up
and hide in that hole and let them try
to find him.
So up the tree scrambled Frumpy,
and without looking or listening to see
If there might be anybody there before
him. he popped his head in at the hole
But that was all that he did do. Some
thing sharp hit him so hard that with
a little cry he backed out so hurriedly
that he nearly lost his balance and fell
to the ground. But he managed to
hang on and to crawl around on the
other side of the tree. 1t was lucky he
did. Out of the hole popped a very
angry parsonage. She was very angry
scream to know that. 1t was Mrs.
Drummer.
At first she didn't see Frumpy and
flew about in great excitement. With
all his heart Frumpy hoped she wouldn't
see him: But in minute she caught
fury. Poor Frumpy. II didn't mean
anything. Truly I didn't" he sobbed,
as he lodged this way and that around
the tree trunk. But Mrs. Drummer
that hole in the tree. and If Frumpy
had been ever so many times bigger
than he was she would have attacked
him just the same.
The racket he made was bringing
other birds, Drummer himself at the
head of them. and all screaming with
anger Frumpy knew that never in
the wide world could he dodge all Of
them. he watched his chance and
scrambled down the tree, Mrs. Drum
mer pulling tuft of fur from his coat
just as he reached the ground. Once
on the ground he soon found a hiding
place. and there he covered. very sore
and very much frightened. He had not
supposed that birds-that is. any birds
but hawks and owls-could be SO fierce
and terrible.
What was 1t all about?" asked
Grumpy and Bumpy when at last they
found him.

Frumpy would say. as he held on to
his aching head. Later, when he felt
better. he told his brothers all about it.
