WOOD CRAFT STORY
FOR LITTLE CHILDREN.
Third Story.

LfNld Brother Rabbit is the finest fellow, he is
ESQ good and kind around the house. If there
~ were any wood to carry water to bring from
the spring, he would do it with smile, just like
a good boy does when he wants to help mother.
But, you see, Brother and Sister Rabbit don't
have to carry water, for he always remains with
the children while she goes to get drink and
when she returns then Brother Rabbit goes for
a drink Neither do they have to build fire
for Mother Nature has given them the incest,
warmest fur overcoat and it is always thick enough
for Sister Rabbit to pull few handfus out to line
the nest and she doesn't miss it. She has also
given them warm fur boots and they love to run
about right after it has showed, before anyone
has been out except the field mouse who always
leaves the print of his tail in the Brother
Rabbit loves to make tracks and little paths that
the boys are so fond of following Brother Rabbit
is very sharp, too for he always puts his hind
feet in front when he travels and sticks his front
feet back between his hind legs, to make his tracks
look like he is coming, when, really and truly, he
is just going He is such happy little fellow.
He would love to get acquainted with the boys but
he has them shoot the young robins with
their yellow spotted breast, which, if they would
let them live, would become a beautiful red breast
before long.
The other day as Brother Rabbit passed the Coon
tree he heard something like this IT'S my time
to hide, you always want the best of everything
1t sounded very much like the Coon children The
Possum children replied, I'VE will take Our
marbles and go home About that time hot words
exchanged between Brother Coon and Broth
Possum. The result was Brother Terrapin
suggested they settle the question with fight
This juSe suited the Coon who is always ready
for scrap but the little Red Squirrel said Shame
you, Brother Terrapin [ thought you were
a friend of Brother Possum.' But Brother Terra
pin just winked and whispered something to Red
Squirrel The result was Brother Terrapin was
to make all the arrangements and at the appointed
time he led the Dragging Coon and the shrinking
Possum to the battle ground. The little folk
of the forest arrayed themselves on fallen logs
to witness the battle The funniest thing of all
was they were going to fight it out in hollow
log just large enough for them to crawl in.
Red Squirrel dropped hickory nut a signal and
in they went For awhile not a sound could be
heard, but after little bit the voice of Brother
Coon was heard to say, Let go of my Ouch,
you choking You know | can't fight unless
am my back; believe this is put up job
Brother Brown Bear took the log in his arms
and shook them both to the ground and the fight
ended with Brother Coon beating hasty retreat.
Brother Rabbit who was walking home with
Brother Muskrat remarked, "It doesn't always
pay to take up childrens quarres." To which the
Muskrat replied, That's so, Brother Rabbit,
that's So"
