And what do you think-after much
coaxing Puss hoped up right on the
table.
They were both enjoying themselves
immensely when the door opened and
the mistress entered.
Puss jumped from the table and ran
under a chair. The mistress pulled
her out and gave her whipping, and
she pushed her out of the door.

Next time l hope you'll let me warm
my feet in your fur" he cried as the
door slammed on Puss.
But poor Mr.. Green Fly, he reckoned
without his host! For when the mis-
tress waved a towel toward him he
spread his wings and flew right back
in spider web, where he buzzed and
struggled until Puss sneaked through
the door again.
"Oh, Puss, I'm so sorry ! coaxed you
on the table! Please help me untangle
my foot from this web before Mr..
Spider comes!" walled Mr.. Green Fly.
With her paw Puss tore the spider
web to pieces, and Mr.. Green Fly
buzzed his thanks.
Il don't deserve to be helped. for I
knew the mistress would whip you.
but I'm sorry, and I will say this that
feet were better than wings that time,"
buzzed Green Fly.
"Oh, that's all right, and l shouldn't
have been so cross about letting you
warm your feet In my fur" replied
Puss. $50 I guess we're even. How
ever, ] don't care for wings"
Then Gray Puss stretched out before
the fire and Mr.. Green Fly warming
his feet in her fur. sang his bug song
until Puss snored.

PUss AND Mr.. GREEN Ely.

One day when Mr.. Green Fly, cold
and chilly, found the kitchen door
open. he flew inside.
On the floor before the fireplace lay
old gray Puss. Her coat looked SO
lovely and soft that Mr.. Green Fly de-
cided to warm his feet in her fur, SO
buzzing around her head several
times he settled on her ear.
Puss shook her head and Mr.. Green
Fly nearly fell off.
Get off my earl" cried Puss.
I'm cold and I mean to warm my
feet in your fur" buzzed Mr.. Green
Fly.
But Puss shook him off, which made
Green Fly quite angry.
why don't you get fur coat like
mine? Then you wouldn't be cold,
purred Puss.
why don't you get a nice pair. of
wings like mine?" buzzed Mr.. Green
Fly, but Puss told him she felt feet
were better than wings any day.
Il can run just as fast as you can
fly" retorted Puss, and she turned
over to give Mr.. Green Fly to under
stand that she thought him very fool
ish.
Now, all this time Mr.. Green Fly had
been warming his eight little feet in
Puss's fur coat, and when Puss dis
covered it she became angry and hit at
him with her paw.
Mr. Green Fly flew to the table and
pretended he was having a lovely meal.
He coaxed Puss to join him, hoping
down~in his little fly heart that the
mistress would come in and catch her.
Then We'll see whether It's wings or
feet that help most" buzzed Green Fly.
