Farmer Browns Boy Visits
Paddy's Pond.

Farmer Browns boy was very busy
these beautiful spring days, for the
good brown earth had to be prepared
for the seeds. and the seeds had to he
planted, and in all this Farmer Browns
boy had a share. and was glad, for he
had learned the joy that comes with
work well done. There had been time
when he had thought that it was very
dreadful that he should have to work,
and he had envied the birds and all the
little people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows. because he thought
that they had nothing to do but to play.
But as he learned to know his little
neighbors better, and to love them, he
little by little discovered that they had
to work, every single one of them, or
they could not live. and that those who
seemed happiest, and whom he loved
best were the hardest workers of all.
He watched Johnny Chuck dig, and the
birds make their nests. and Jerry Musk
rat build his wonderful house. and all
of them hunt for their daily food, and
saw that each one of them has a part
of the work of the great world to do
and is happy in doing it. And later he
made a great discovery. 1t was that
when he had done his share of work
well and cheerfully he enjoyed his
playtime hundred times more than he
possibly could have had all his time
been playtime. SO. then he began to
find pleasure in work, and then he
rounu that the better his WORK was
done the greater the pleasure he felt
1t was several days after he found
out that Mrs. Quack was coming at
night to feed on the corn he scattered
among the bulrushes of the Smiling
Pool and then flying straight into the
Green Forest, before he had chance
to visit the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
He was fairly itching with curiosity
to know If. he suspected. Mr.. and
Mrs. Quack had decided to make their
home there for the summer. and as he
worked he kept thinking of them.
1T will be perfectly splendid if they
have" said he. "They will be perfect
ly safe there unless Reddy Fox is smart
enough to catch them. Smart as he is.
don't believe he is smart enough for
that one thing is sure, and that is no

The very first chance he got he start

filled with corn. 1t was long tramp

but he enjoyed il. for there was so
much to see and hear. AS he drew near
the pond he took the greatest pains not
to make sound. He had learned by
his visits to the Smiling Pool how
watchful Ne. and Mrs. Quack are and
how very, very difficult it is to get near
them when they are suSpecting dam

would be another Waterman on guard.

air for telltale scent and listening for
the tiniest suspicious sound. And he
knew that that Waterman would give
warning by Shaping the water with
great. broad tail the very instant he
suspected any one coming. That watch
man was Paddy himself.
So Farmer Browns boy took care TO
see to it that the wind was blowing in
his face and so from the pond toward
him Then it could carry no telltale
scent to Paddy'S keen nose. And he
took the greatest care to put each foot

but it was very exciting. You see. he
felt that he was matching his wits and
skill against the wits and wonderful
senses of the little wild people he was
hoping to see. At last he reached a
place where by peeping over an old log
he could see all over the pond of Paddy

he saw was Mr.. Quack, lazily SWIM

watching He saw Paddy come out
again and swim across to his dam. and
leave there a stick from which all the
bark had been stripped. He saw Mr.
Ouack go ashore at a little. low, open
place and settle himself for a sun bath.
But still there was no sign of Mrs.

to himself.
