chance to use his pipe for another

eagerly, he was wondering II the pipe

mothers help too, though he blew a
long time on It before he asked her.
Let's watch your pipe very care

with IT, suggested his mother. "and
see what happens to it."
Nothing happened TO It for little
while. then suddenly they saw a large,
fat wasp duttering about the window.
In moment he had crawled warily
30 the top Of the open window and
looked In.
"sh. Watch him. son. said Mrs
Moore softly. SIS Roy was about to
speak. After waiting immovably for
a few minutes the wasp darted
straight 20 the shelf on which Roy
had laid his pipe. He fumbIed care
Iessly about the pipe for second or
two. and then disappeared inside the
bowl he came out buzzIng angrily

This was the beginning Of long

wasp. Many. many trips were made

I - bunch's son. lie was very
80 nice little chap and his mother
o loved him dearly. but he had
one bad fault. lie ran away He
would never stay within calling dis
lance Of their home in the com fort
able old log. and often his mother
couldn't see even the tips Of his long
white ears. he went SO far away.
He would run down into the old
/ hollow by the pool and play with the
other little rabbits, and never tell his
mother where he was going at all.
He would also run TO a certain little
pile OF rocks way up back of the old
stiIe, and stay there for hours until
his poor mother was almost distracted.
But the place he liked best of all
was the edge or Farmer Cobb's lettuce

I the fresh. crisp lettuce; and on the
way back he often stopped for a bite

was so deliciously sweet.

Yes. perhaps they do. But sooner
or later they'll get caught. Farmer
Cobb will shoot them, or feed them
poison, or his dog viii get them-and
there's a wicked snare up there! why
won't you play around homer" And
poor Bunny bunch began to cry softly
because abe was frightened for her
reckless little son So Honey-bunch
promised then that he would never so
there again.
Honey bunch didn't go for a long
time. But one day his mother sent
MIN TO the store TO buy some things
for dinner. and he heard some OF his
playnates planning to go UP to the
lettuce patch for a feast late in the
a afternoon. They coaxed Honey-bunch
to come too. but Honey bunch
wouldn't promise.
That afternoon though ne saw them
going, and thought what fine time
they'd have. But he got his banjo
and perched up on his pet toadstool
to see IL he couldn't forget about the
fellows up at that prize lettuce patch.
