MIR, CARP DIVES FOR HIS LIFE.

was telling you about Lady Duck
rescuing Jerry the Jay from the lake.
Well, Tinker Bob wa not at all
frightened when Jerry fell into the
water because he knew all the time
that some Of the Forest jewellers
would come to ~thestrescue. In fact,
Tinker was really pleased to think
Jerry fell into the water because 1t
was good pay for being so saucy.
After Jerry had come ashore and
dried himself, the King told, him to
let other folks alone or he would
lose all of his feathers again. Jerry
did not like it very we'll, but he did
not say much about It, and just start,
ed off to learn to fly again. =
Tinker Bob was watching him
when Splash, splash" came a sound
from the lake. The King looked
around. but saw no one. All that
could be seen was the ripples in the
water. He thought perhaps some
one was playing a trick on him so he
watched in silence q moment. Then
was getting along.
Splash, splash" it came again.
This time II was in another place,
he could see nothing but ripples. 1t
was becoming quite interesting to
him. 1t wasn't Mr.. Frog. because he
couldn't make two splashes at one
time. and anyway Mr.. Frog came up
to see for himself what the splash
ing was all about. Z
Splash, splash"-this time 1t was
right in front of Tinker. but he could
not see who 1t was that made the
fuss in the water. Then . after the
ripples had reached the edge of the
lake, there came a nose up out of
the water. 1t was a big, round Rose.
Then the back came out OF the water
also. Then there appeared another
back, and another, till there were
dozens of them and they made the
water foam with their tails.
When the King saw all Of these
backs raise out of the water he knew
at once who it was that made the
water foam. Now who do you, think
it was? Well, it was Mr.. Carp with
his whole school. They had come
from the deep water where they had
spent the winter. Now they were
investigating to see where they
could build their nests along the
edge of the lake in shallow Natsr.
Come up, MI. Carp" said Tinker,
land tell me what you are doing"
Suddenly Mr.. Carp thrust his muddy
head out Of the water.
