STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
THE FROGS
BY Farmer Smith

The airship had not appeared for some
time. and Billy was getting tired of his
move to have the Woodland people prepare
for war
ut seems to me that you are wearyine
IN your good abors," said Mrs Bumpus 10
Billy one day.
Its one of the hardest things I'm this
world TO keep up your interest in anything
for very long" replied Billy. "No-I .hink
the hardest thing in the world is to act
some one to work for you or with YOU I
nave almost trotted my head off trying TO
get everybody interested in defending our
selves against that thing which was up in
me SKY The Beavers are willing to help.
MY but they are workers."
'Have you seen the Frogs?" asked Mrs
BumLus softly.
NO: yet not yet Yesterday when I was
over tc see the Beavers Fox came along
and e,cnt wait very long. for wheH got
one gooA ook at him that was enough for
me He looked hungry" replied Billy.
so Ike you,' replied Mrs. Bumpus turn
ing and looking at Billy.
THANK you" answered Billy who was
learning to keep still when there were signs
of trouble brewing.
Il guess you had better run over and take
look at the Frogs" suggested his r,od
wife.
Billy turned and looked at his wife and
then trotted off in the direction of the pond.
Far In the distance he could hear the FroRn
croaking. and as he approached nearer ana
nearer all became quiet
What wise people they are" thought
Billy to himself when all is we'll you hear
them croaking. but when danger is near,
they shat up. ! think I could learn a Tot
from them"
When Billy reached the shore of the
pond there was not leaf stirring. Not
Frog was to be seen, so he sat down "a
rest BY and by he looked down in the
water, and there right in front of him he
saw'two beady eyes staring right at him.
"Howdy?" 4
: The two beady eyes moved nearer to him,
and soon the yellowish-white throat of Min

When she had eli bed up on the bank
Minnie Frog said to Billy:
"We!l?"
Il have come TO ask if you have seen
that terrible thing which has been sailing
over the sky and terrifying all the good
people of the Woodland? We are likely to
go to war, and ! want to see what you Frogs
are going to do to help us"
you are wise in coming to us, for we
are the wisest of all water beings and land
beings too" replied Minnie.
ITS great to have such good opinion OF
oneself" answered Billy
What others think of you is but n re-
Election of what you think of yourself" said
Minnie Frog without turning around
why don't you turn and look at me when
you speak," asked Billy
Frogs, my dear Billy Bumpus can see
in all directions at once. Didst not know
that?"
NO | 'didnst," answered Billy
Il will then tell you one thing more. which
I hope you will never forget; 1t is this:
YOU CAN'T TELL WHICH WAY A FROG
is GOING TO JUMP BY THE WAY HE a
is SITTING Now-skido-o-o" 6
And Billy DID skidoo. but he was think
