First Of all it's an animal. It's more
like Raccoon than any other animal
we know about-but It has long, long
tail which it is very proud of The
Coat families always live in far-off
countries where we never 90.
But one time Sailors. off a big ship,
went on land-near where their ship
was lying in stream for few days.
The Sailors had gone for a long long
trip IN this ship to visit all the strange
parts of the world.
We'll, Of course, they saw the Coat
families. Just lots and lots of them
they saw all around, and one little
Coat followed one of the Sailors and
seemed to be very devoted to him.
Everywhere the Sailor went the Coatl
followed and whatever the Sailor gave
him to eat-he swallowed it whole, at
once!
Now the rest OF the Coats did not
seem to be surprised at the little
coati's devotion to the Sailor and
suppose 1t was because they had al.
ways known that this little Coati-
whose name was Jake-was very anx.

And all the devotion really meant

fond OF him.
"Of course Jake was the easiest ami
NAL in the world to feed He liked alb
solutely everything. 1t didn't matter
what they gave him, he always seemed
TO think it delicious. And no matter
now much he ate he seemed to al
ways be in the best of health.
But after a time he got homesick|
and he didn't know what to do. He'
really felt very badly as he hadn't seen
any of his family for three years. One
night, after all the Sailors had gone
to bed~he wept just a little bit all by
himself.
And then Gnome came along and
little Browne--by this time the
Coat had fallen asleep. And in his
dreams he heard them say that thew
would whisper to the Sailors to 20
back to the Coat land to look for
other interesting discoveries.
And sure enough the Gnome and
the Brownie did this, and before an.
other week was over the ship was way
out in the big ocean again going fast
toward the home of the little Coati
Whey they reached Jakes home
all his family came rushing out to see
him and the Sailors then knew that
Jake was glad to be back Many of
his sisters and brothers had grown up
TO be so large. As for Jake, they all
thought he was wonderful, and thew
admired their fine Coat so much. They
thought he was so travelled and wise
"Of course the Sailors knew that
the Coati wanted to stay home. so they
didn't try to take him off again. And
how grateful the Coati was to the
Brownie and Gnome who had arranged
his return home! But, 10 and behold
another brother of Jake's went along
on the next trip as he wanted TO see
the world too"
