A funny though able swimmer is the
rabbit. He submerges his body with
the exception Of head and tail. The
latter sticks away up into the air, and
his hind legs make soap suds" as he
churns the water madly to get away.
But with all his awkwardness he is a
swift swimmer and is only beaten by

The squirrel swims with his heavy
tail sunk away down in the water and
his head held high. He cleaves the
waves like a duck. and a man in a
rowboat has all be can do to keep
abreast OF the swimming squirrel.
