WHAT IS FORESIGHT?

MY dear Children - Have you ever
thought of ONE thing animals have which
many grown-ups and many children have
not?
/ refer to foresight.
When the fall days come and the leaves
drop softly to the earth the squirrel family
packs the cellar of its bungalow with nuts
why?
When the flaky "mackerel" sky adorns
the autumn day the birds go South.
wonder why?
The wind comes out of the north and
Mister Bear shivers. Does he put on heav-
ier underwear? Not at all He curls up and
goes to sleep. Why?
Walk along the shore of a pond or river
when the ice is thick. Do you hear the
merry croaking of the frogs Why not?
When there are icicles on the window,
where are the flies? How do they know
that winter is coming, and how do they
know when spring arrives and the gladstone
summer is nigh? l wonder.
Draw a lesson from all these dear kind
people of the woodland, the air and water.
They do not worry They seem to get food
without cash or credit
Then, why is 1t we, who are much better
than the animals, are always fussing, stew
ing and worrying about-NOTHING?
1 wonder Lovingly,
FARMER SMITH, Chdrens Editor.

THE HAPPY TADPOLE
BY Farmer Smith

Hippety hop.
Three men on top.
One red and one blue
And one didn't know just what to do,
Little Timmy Tadpole was singing to
himself when along came Mister Trout and
wanted to know what all the happiness
was about
~ don't see why have to stop my song
and tell you why am happy. What's the
idea?" asked Timmy.
81 don't see why you are happy-in a
little while your tail will be gone and you
will be an ugly Frog" said the Trout.
Tut tut !" began Timmy Tadpole THAT
is the very thing which makes me so happy.
Think of it! / have something to look
forward to. while YOU will always be a
Trout-nothing but a beautiful Trout"
"Of course, l am beautiful, while you are
ugly enough now. but goodness knows a
Frog Is the ugliest thing In all the world"
answered Mister Trout.
"Oh. but you forget, You are so beauti-
full and so tasty that men are hunting you
all the time, while a Frog, well, they are
only hunted for their hind legs 1t must be
terrible to have to live in fear ALL the
time. You have to look closely at every
fy before you eat it, while / gobble them
up with a snap and so does a Frog Swim
up stream and let me sing my song. Good
day"
Mister Brook Trout did not wait for
any more talk from Timmy Tadpole. for
he knew that the little fellow had the best
of him. so he went away up stream where
there was a deep pool and sat there think
ing over what had been said to him.
BY and by a fly came floating along on
the top OF the water.
'"rhere, l don't dare eat that fly after
what has been said to me-" thought Mister
Brook Trout. He waited little longer and
the fly floated over toward the bank and
before the Trout knew what had happened
a huge Frog had gobbled up the tiny fly
and Mister Brook Trout was sorry, very
sorry.
After a long time, the Trout swan over
to where the big Frog was sitting and
asked. WAS that fly good?"
why do you ask, YOU don't have to
digest it?" said the Frog,
"Curiosity," ventured the Trout
well IL you spent more time catching
files and less time being curious and ask
ing foolish questions. the world would be
better and you would be fatter,"
The Trout sighed and said, We'll II |
were fatter, more fishermen might want
me-"
"There you are! Trout who are afraid
what to eat and when to eat either starve
10 death or are caught" said the Frog. "By
the time you get through listening TO ad-
vice, you will be deaf and dumb. and then
you viii get caught for sure. Look There's
another fy.'
They both made grab for IT, but the
Trout was too quick for the Frog. Thank
YOU" he said as no swan away. while the
Frogs mouth closed with pop on nothing
