It Was Sad Story, But They Heard
1t Through.

for the year. The young prairie dogs
will soon be coming. Oh we're going
to have such glorious spring.
Don't hurt me. l never did you
any harm. / never did anyone any
harm. l laugh and / never get blue
and discouraged, like my cousins, the
woodchucks.'
"'Ill not miss a treat like this the
coyote said.
And despite the pleadings of the
little prairie dog, the coyote thought
of the delicious meal he would have,
and Master Prairie Dogs cheerful lit
tie life was over.
after he had been missing from
the home of the prairie dogs they
were very, very careful not to wander
away where there might be any chance
of danger.
Grandmother Prairie Dog told them
the story of the farmer who had hated
the prairie dogs for making so many,
many holes.
1T was sad story, but they heard
it through. so they would take pains
to make their holes, as far as possible,
away from farms.
This farmer Grandmother Prai-
rie told them. was so angry be-
cause so many holes were made in his
grounds that he vowed he would get
rid of the prairie dogs.
Now, you know quite WELL said
Grandmother Prairie, that we never
hurt anyone. We're happy and jolly
and gay. We love each other and our
neighbors. The only thing that we
do that annoys the farmer is that we
make so many holes
But how are we to help doing
that? asked the little prairie dogs.
1--WE must make them away from
where we think we can be harmed
said Grandmother Prairie.
This farmer that I'm telling you
about, put poisoned grain and wheat
into our holes.
OF course, we ate it, at least most
of us did, for we thought it was
thoughtful of him, and we barked our
thanks delightedly. We also wagged
our little tails.
But the farmer hadn't stayed to
hear our thanks. He had another pur-
pose in his mind This we soon found
out.
u had had very good meal only
a short time before this, and wasn't In
the least scrap hungry. So didn't
eat any of the poisoned food
That is why l am alive to-day.
But many of US did, and were poi
soned. So we've got to be careful
And they all promised they would be.
"Soon they forgot about these sad
stories and barked and laughed and
played. How happy they were For
they are never sad long, and their lit
tie lives are jolly ones indeed.
And soon the best part of the spring
followed-the arrival of all the baby
