I can't read"
Now that was quite true; for TIM
othy's eyes were bad-and he hae
never learned to read.
"Iu tell you what I'll do" Peter
Mink announced. IF you'll give me q
place to spend the night I'll read the
Farmers Almanac to you"
Come right inl" Timothy Turtle
cried, leading the way TO cozy nook
beneath a big rock which was not far
from the water. And Peter Mink was
very glad to creep inside that COM
Portable shelter. He took the AL
manac from Timothy Turtle and they
both sat down.
Peter opened the book.
''I see," he said, that it says the
weather was fair today, but look out
for a heavy rain tonight"
Now, Timothy Turtle had not felt
quite sure that Peter Mink knew how
to read. But when he heard that he
quickly changed his mind.
That's exactly what's happenedi"
he exclaimed. And he was greatly
pleased.
But the next moment he noticed
that Peter Mink was holding the book
upside down. Timothy could tell that
because the picture of the man
ploughing, on the cover, was upside
down.
'You can't readl' he cried angrily.
you don't even know how to hold a
book. You've got it bottom side up!"
But Peter Mink only smiled pleas
antly at him.
you don't understand" he said.
That's the way was taught to read.
Then, if you want to read when stand
ing on your head, you don't need to
turn the book over It's the
latest method he explained.
"Oh! said Timothy Turtle. That's
"Yes-quite different said Peter
Mink.
What does the Almanac say about
next week?" Timothy inquired.
Time to plant corn!" Peter told
him.
That's SOL" said Timothy Turtle.
Mr.. Grow was telling me this very
day that Farmer Green was plough
ing his cornfield; but of course that

doesn't interest me much.
What else does the book say?" Tim
Othy continued.
well. here's some general advice. ''
Peter Mink remarked, as he looked al
the Almanac again. 1T says: IF
anybody comes to you and asks for a
place to sleep. give him a bed-hut
first of all. give him a good supper. i"
II don't believe want to hear any
more tonight" said Timothy Turtle
hastily Its late; so we'd better 60
to bed right away"
Peter Mink was somewhat disap-
pointed. He had hoped to get a fish
or two to eat. But there was nothing
he could say, though he did wish Tim
othy Turtle could take a hint.
IN the morning you can read to
me again" Timothy told him.
So they went to bed.
But in the morning the Almanac
was nowhere to be found. Timothy
Turtle hunted for it in every place he
could think of-except Peter Mink's
pocket.
After Peter had gone. Timothy con:
tinued his search. And at last he
found the Almanac beneath the heap
of dry leaves which Peter Mink had
used for bed
That's queer!" Timothy Turtle
said. "I'm almost sure looked
there before Peter Mink went away.
My eyes must be growing
worse"
The more he thought of the matter.
the gladder he was that he hadn't
found the book before. For there
was no knowing but that Peter Mink
might have found some advice about
giving a good breakfast to a guest
who stayed over night.
Then Timothy Turtle went into
Black Greek and caught a fine fish.
for he was hungry. And he enjoyed
his meal nightly, because he had it
all to himself.
While he was eating he kept think
ing what a disagreeable fellow Peter
Mink was No doubt he would have
been surprised had he known that
Peter Mink was thinking the same
thing about him, at exactly the same
moment.
