LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Plungers Make Home In the Green Forest
'Copyrgha by T W. Burges.b
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

IL was very hard for Peter Rab-
bit To believe what Jerry Muskrat
had told him about the harmless
ness Of Plunger the Osprey, better
known as Plunger the Fish Hawk
Peter wouldn't have believed il II
he hadn't seen for himself how Jer.
~ had no fear whatever Of Pluuger
You see, IL was very, very hard in
need 10 believe that thcre could be
any member OF the Hawk Hmily. at
least any large member like Plung-
er. who was not 20 be feared by all
of the little people of The Green
Meadows and the Green Forest.
But Peter remembered the mistake
that had been made in regard 10 OF
Mistah Buzzard, how for long
time he had been noedlessly feared,
and this made II a little easier to
think that possibly Jerry Muskrat
might be right In regard TO Plunger
the Fish Hawk
OF course. Peter hurried 10 tell
Danny Meadow Mouse and all his
other friends what he had learned
at the Smiling Pool. Each was as
doubtful as Peter had been, but
each hoped il was true After this
they all watched Plupger whenever
they had a chance. and not once did
any enc see hin, try to catch any Of
the little meadow and forest people
In fact, he never seemed TO notice
them at all. He always flew straight
from the Green Forest across the
Green Meadows TO the Rig River
and back. often when he was re
turning from the Big River they
would see something shining in his
great claws. II was a fish.
SO 1t came about that after q
while no one feared Plunger tho
Fish Hawk save the fish in the
Smiling Pool and the Big River
Presently, from where M one knew
appeared Mrs. Plunger, and. it soon
became very clear that they had
decided TO make their home in the
Green Forest, They made no secret
Of IT, They didn't seem 10 care who
knew where II was. Peter saw them
carrying sticks and once or twice
flying from the Big River with
water weeds. Peter knew what that
meant IL meant that they were
building a nest. Right away Peters
curiosity got the best of him. He
wanted TO see thai nest He won
dered il II was Ike Redtail's. The
first chance he got he went over to
see He had watched Plunger and
Mrs. Plunger so often that he knew
just about where 10 look for their
nest
He found IL quite as easily as he
had expected to, for IL was only a
