LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME
Mrs. Quacks Name for Hunters
Copyright. 1915 W. Burgess)
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

The more Peter Rabbit heard
about the dreadful things that hap
pened on Mr.. Quack's long journey
the more glad he was that he was a
rabbit and not a duck. Mrs. Quack
had told him OF how tho hunters
with terrible guns had used other
ducks 70 make Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
and their friends think a feeding
place was perfectly safe, and II had
seemed 10 him so unfair that II Mrs.
Quack hadn't been so very much in
earnest he wouldn't have believed
It.. Not one OF the meadow and
forest people who were always try
ing TO catch him would do a thing
like that.
Its all true said Mrs Quack.
land those hunters do other things
just as unfair. Sometimes awful
storms will come up and We just
have 10 find places where we can
rest. Those hunters will hide near
those places and shoot at us when
we are so tired that we can hardly
move a wing II wouldn't be so bad
If hunter would be satisfied TO
kill just one duck. as Reddy Fox is,
but he seems to want to kill every
duck. I've seen the most awful
sights"
Mrs. Quack paused 10 shudder.
After moment she continued. I've
looked down into one of the hiding
places of hunter and seen a great
pile OF my friends which he had
killed. ever so many of them, and
vet he would be trying TO kill more.
Foxes and hawks and owls catch a
good many young ducks, inst as they
do young rabbits, but you know how
We feel about that. They only hunt
when they are hungry and they hunt
fairly When they have got enough
to make a dinner they stop. They
keep our wits sharp. II we do not
keep out OF their way it is our own
fault. II is a kind OF game-the

wants. DO you know what | call
those creatures p"
What" asked Peter, eagerly
"Two-legged weasels," replied Mrs.
Quack. Eyes. sir. call them two
legged weasels DO you know why?'
Peter thought for a minute. 81
guess because they kill just for the
love of killing said he. 81 know
Shadow the Weasel does. He hunts
and kills just as long as he can find
anything that he can kill, and seems
to find pleasure in just killing. That
is why everybody on the Green
Meadows and in the Green Forest
hates him. even his own relatives. "
Peter shivered little at the very
thought of Shadow the Weasel.
Mrs Quack nodded. You've
guessed right" said she These
two-legged weasels are worse than
Shadow, because he hunts fairly and
they don't. and because he always
kills those he catches, and they
often simply break the wings or
otherwise terribly hurt the ones they
shoot at and leave them TO suffer,
unable 10 take care of themselves.
Oh. dear. I'm afraid that is what
has happened TO Mr. Quack."
Once more poor Mrs. Quack was
quite overcome with her troubles
and sorrows. Peter wished with all
his heart that he could do something
TO comfort her, but OF course he
couldn't, so he just sat still and
waited until she could tell him just
what did happen to Mr.. Quack.
