It was the end of the day. The
big fish in Long Cane after a STIR
ring day had returned to his home
under the ash log on the Eastern side
of the stream just below the big
bridge. He had been hunting all
day for a worm for the little fishes
and for something to lay up in the
fish refrigerator for the morrow. The
mother fish was reclining in her wa
terry couch, and the little fishes were
nesting close to her side. It was
nearly bedtime and the little fishes
had been told to say their prayers,
and when they had come to the part
which said, "Deliver us from evil," !"
little Johnnie Fish said:
"Papa Fish, there were some bad
men down on the creek today and
they tried to catch mamma and take
her away from US little fishes"
The mama fish had said nothing
about the near tragedy, but now she
told the head of the house, how the
children had cried from hunger, be-
cause the big fishes further up stream
had eaten all the food in the water

as it came down, leaving nothing for
her and the children, and how a
great big worm had been dropped
into the stream just over her head,
and how. she was about to grab 1t and
take it into the house to feed the
children, when she saw the sharp end
of fsh-hook sticking out, by which
a bad man would have taken the
mother from the home and from
father and from the little children.
"What kind of looking man was
it who tried to catch you mama,"
asked Betty Fish.
"Oh, it was q solemn Sunday
school looking man, who slipped the
worm on a hook and hid behind a
tree and tried to catch me, and if he
had not thought so loud I might not
have grown suspicious and looked
for the hook, but he thought so
loud" &c.. ...-..
"And what did he think about"
asked the papa fish? -.'
"Oh,, he was talking about what q
great man he was and how many
shoes he sold for the little children,

And the Dig mamma fish put ner
biggest fin around the little girl fish
and told her to go to sleep, and to
"always look and listen, before you
leap" l.
/ And all the little fishes went to
their rooms under the big ash log
and soon fell asleep.
But the big papa fish slept at the
door, with one eye open and watched.
He feared that the bad men might
come again and try 70 carry his little
boys and girls away, and he guarded
them while they slept to see that the
thief in the night did not enter there.
And the; big men went home. And
that night they were glad in their
homes the reaper had not come to
carry their loved ones away. And
they slept and dreamed Of them and
how they would guard the door If the
bad man should try to enter there.
