DADDY7,J TVE,NHNG
g FAIRY TALE 81
6yllARY @AI1Al1 BONNER
or 6taALTHoR
MOTHER BEARS.

Daddy told the children as they
were about to have their evening
story that, he had decided he would
tell them a great deal about the ZOO
animals, for he had been studying a
good deal with the keepers, learning
all about the ways of the animals. and
he thought Nick and Nancy would like
TO hear about them5
So all of us are going to learn more
and more about the zoo animals, hear
ing the things that Daddy learned
when he listened to the stories the
keepers had to tea. We are going to
hear of some of the trips the children
made to the zoo withaDaddy and some
times how Daddy left them alone with
the keeper and the keeper told them
stories of thes ways of the animals
when free.
Sometimes, too, they would just
watch the animals and by their sounds
and actions they would tell their own
stories. So we are going to hear all
these things, we shall hear some of
the things the animals in the zoo do
when they are free, and how differ
emily they live in the zoo.
Sometimes, too, we are going to hear
that they do the same things in the
zoo as out of the zoo, for so they do!
3 At any rate everything that-Daddy
found out to tell his two children, and
which am telling to you, is quite,
quite true. The animals tell their own
stories by their actions, by their ways.
They don't have to talk the talk Of
children or of grown-ups.
So that all these animal stories, Of
course, are true, just as they have al
ways been true and always will be
true, for animal stories which weren't
true wouldn't be any fun at all.
When we want make-believe stories
we have fairy tales and all such de-
lightful things to talk about.
But when you read of one of these
animals and of its ways and what it
eats, and how it looks after its chill
dren you can know that it is quite,
quite true, and that wouldn't want
it to be anything else.
For here's secret, a true, true
secret. There is so much that is won
derful in animal life and in bird life,
so much that we can never find the
time to half tell about, that we don't
need to make-believe about the ami
mails and the birds. They're so much.
much more interesting just as they
are.
OF course, there will be plenty of
bird stories and fairy stories and
other kinds of stories, so Wen have
all sorts, but this is just little chance
have to tell you all that every story
which Daddy tells to Nick and Nancy
about the ways of an animal or little
living creature is quite true. /
