entered 1t he heard a merry voice just
over his head. Dee. dee. dee, dee!"
said the voice.
Reddy stopped and looked up There
was Tommy Tit the Chickadee clinging
fast to q big piece of fresh suet tied
to branch of tree, and Tommy was
stuffing himself. Reddy sat down right
underneath 1t and looked up longingly.
The sight of that suet made his mouth
water SO that 1t was almost more than
he could stand. He jumped once. He
jumped twice. He Jumped three times.
But all his jumping was in vain. That
suet was beyond his reach. There was
no possible way of reaching it save by
flying or climbing. Reddy's tongue
hung out Of his mouth with longing.
II wish I could climb" said Reddy.
ing in the world wouldn't enable him
to. as he very well knew. So after a
little he started on. AS he drew near
the far corner of the Old Orchard he
saw Bob White and Mrs. Bob and all
the young Bobs picking up grain which
Farmer Browns Boy had scattered for
them just in front of the shelter he had
built for them. Reddy crouched down
and very slowly. an inch at a time. he
crept forward. his eyes shining with
eagerness. Just as he was almost
within springing distance Bob White
gave a signal and with a roar Of stiff
little wings away flew the Bob Whites
to the safety Of hemlock tree on the
Tears Of rage and disappointment
welled up in Reddy's eyes. II wish I
could fly" he muttered as he watched
the brown birds disappear in the big
hemlock tree.
This was quite as foolish wish as
the other. SO Reddy trotted on and de-
cided to go down past the Smiling Pool.
When he got there he found 1t, as he
expected. frozen over, but Just where
the Laughing Brook joins 1t there was
little place where there was open
water: Billy. Mink was on the ice at
the edge of 1t and just as Reddy got
there Billy dived in. A minute later
he climbed out with fish In his mouth
Give me bite" begged Reddy.
Catch your own fish," retorted Billy
Mink. IT have to work hard enough
for what 1 get as it is"
Reddy was afraid to go out on the
ice where Billy was. and so sat and
watched him eat that fine fish. Then
Billy dived into the water again and
disappeared. Reddy waited a long time.
but Billy did not return. IT wish I
could dive" gulped Reddy. thinking of
the fine fish somewhere under the ice.
And this wish was quite as vain and
foolish as the other wishes.

Three Vain and Foolish Wishes

There's nothing SO foolishly silly and vain
As to wish for a thing you can never attain.
We all know that. and yet most Of
us are just foolish enough to make
such a wish now and then. 1 guess
you have done it. I know I have.
Peter Rabbit has done 1t often and
then laughed at himself afterward. I
suspect that even shrewd. clever old
Granny Fox has been guilty OF It moro
than once. So 1t is not surprising that
Reddy Fox, terribly hungry as he was.
should do a little foolish wishing.
When he left home to go to the Old
Pasture in the hope that he would be
able to find something to eat there he
started off bravely. 1t was cold. very
cold indeed, but his fur coat kept him
warm as long as he was moving. The
Green Meadows were now no longer
green, but glistening-white with
snow. All the world. at least all that
part OF it with which Reddy was ac-
a millions Of sparkles flashed in the
sun. But Reddy had no thought for
beauty; the only thought he had room
for was to get something to put in the
empty stomachs Of himself and Granny
Fox.
Jack Frost had hardened the snow
so that Reddy no longer had to wade
through it. He could run on it now
without breaking through. This made
1t much easier. SO he trotted along
swiftly. He had intended to go straight
to the Old Pasture, but there sudden
ly popped into his head a memory of
the shelter down in far corner of
the Old Orchard which Farmer Browns
Boy had built there for Bob White
Probably the Bob White family were
there now and he might be able to sur
prise them. He would go there first.
Reddy stopped and looked carefully
to make sure that Farmer Browns
Boy and Bowser the Hound were no.
where in sight; Then he ran swiftly
