Poor Bobby Coon! His broken
leg panied him a great deal OF
course. Broken legs and arms al
ways do pain. They hurt dreadfully
when they are broken, and they
hurt dreadfully after they are
broken. and they hurt while they
are mending. Among the little peo-
pie OF the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows broken leg or
arm IL a great deal worse than II Ia

nx the break so that Mother Nature
may mend II and make the leg or
arm m good az ever. But with the
little people OF the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows nothing Of
this sort Ia possible and very, very
cften a broken limb means An early
death. You see such break will
not mend properly and the little
aufSerer becomes cripple. and
oripplss cannot long escape their
enemies.
So. tho be didn't know II AZ the
time. II was a very lucky thing for
Bobby Coon that Farmer Browns
Boy discovered that broken leg and
wrapped him up in his coat and took
him home. Bobby didn't think II
was lucky. oh. my. no! No in:
deed Bobby thought II was just
the other way about. You see he
didn't know Farmer Browns Boy
excepting by sight. He didn't know
% his gentleness and tender heart.
All he knew OF men and boys was
that most OF them seemed TO de-
light In hunting him. In frightening
him and trying to kill him. SO all

arms OF Farmer Browns Boy up 10

When they reached the barn
Farmer Browns Boy put Bobby
down very gently. but fastened him
IN the coat so that he couldn't get
out, Then he went TO the house
and presently returned with some
neat strips OF clean white cloth.
Then he took out his knife and
made very smooth two thin fat
sticks. When these suited him he
tied Bobby's hind legs together 40
that be couldn't kick with them.
Then he placed Bobby on his side

OF cloth bound him to II on his side

other smooth nat stick above the
break and wound the whole with

was no chance for those two sticks
