ent story to tell. We must hear his
story, too"
So everyone listened to the story the
African pOrcupine had to tell /; 1t was
little story of his own ideas and so
forth.
THAT Canadian porcupine." said the
African porcupine to himself, sis very
fussy.
"He doesn't care for the zoo. He
says it is so very fine where he comes
from up in Canada that he is very
homesick. Now, am not so fussy.
MY home is in Africa. as anyone
might guess or know or imagine be-
cause my name tells good deal At
least it tells two important things.
'The first one is that 1t tells that
/ come from Africa or that ! am At
rican. which is the same thing. and
| the second important thing that my
name tells Is that | am q porcupine.
They name me well--the African
| porcupine. It's good name. a good.
sensible name. and IL tells folks what
/ am and how / look. and quite lot
| about me.
Now. little girls and little boys are
often so fooliShly named. If they were
| just called North American tall thin
boy. or South American short fat girl,
| it would be so much easier.
| How is one to know anything from
/ tho nana nf GolIx or Cyc;a E;,@,, ~,
Jane, or Donald. or John, or james
and Jack? When one speaks of the
| African porcupine one knows what Is
| being spoken about. but when any
one speaks of friend named Jack
/ have no idea!
They may be speaking of little
thin girl with golden curls and blue
eyes or they may be speaking of a
very tall girl with black hair and
brown eyes. Or they may he speaking
of fat boy with red tie or thin
boy who is very, very tall and who Mas
.freckleS.
"Yes, ! have the right sort of a
name ! have. and I'm not in the least
fussy. ] don't mind ii here in the

when / lived in Canada" said the
Canadian porcupine. II was perfectly
happy. OF course if am helping the
zoo along and being of great interest.
l do not mind, but I do not care for
zoo life as ! do for a life of freedom.
"Ah, what wanderings through the
woods used to have" the Canadian
porcupine continued. II used to go
miles and miles along through dark
low fir tree forests. used to live
so happily in the woods where people
so seldom came.
And in the springtime when fishing
parties would camp In the woods, if
dog bothered me would soon punish
him.
1T Is not true that l throw my
quilts, but If dog barked at me and
tried to fight me WELL he got punish
ed and you know howl
81 don't like these untrue stories
to get around that throw my quilts
as the wind throws leaves around.
don't do that. but | can give away
some of my quilts If I am frightened
or annoyed. That is perfectly true.
I'm Canada, where there is beauti-
full country and where the forests are
very wonderful I think a porcupine
leads very happy life. Such. a free.
wild life. no bothersome society around
| one all the time.
Here in the zoo folks come and talk
and the animals chatter and make such
fuss. / like a life which isn't So
| ciable, a wooded life. and I'm not go
ing to pretend l like what l don't"
Now the Canadian porcupine said
all this to no one in particular, but
the speech was heard. just the same,
by a good many of the animals. some
of the visitors. boys and girls and by
the keeper.
THAT is perfectly true" said the
keeper, and he told those who hadn't
been able to understand. just what il
was the porcupine had said.
But think the African porcupine
! is going to say something. too" said
