"Oh, but that tasted good" cried

he and Uncle WiEgily walked on some
more. and Johnnie sighed and said:

be a good animal boy scout"
Nonsense laughed Uncle WiEgily.
You gave Mr. Mud Turtle a drink,
yes, but does a little thing like
that COUNT asked Johnnie.
"Of course It does-' cried the bunny
Then they went on a little farther
and pretty soon they came 20 a big
stump. Sitting down beside it was
Hippy Hoppy, the toad boy.
"Oh. how thirsty ami cried Hippy
Hoppy. How I would like a drink!'
But 1 have a thorn in my foot and

So away he scampered TO the spring,

toad boy did not drink

smile, but toads. you know, don't
drink through their mouths They

that way"
Indeed 7 vilIr' cried the little toad
boy. I'm glad you told me. Uncle
Wiggily, for 7 didn't want to hurt
Johhnie's feelings after he'd been so
kind"
So the squirrel boy splashed the
water on Hippy Hoppy's skin, the
toad boy drank as much as he wanted
and he was happy and so was Johnnie.
