Now, such dreadfully rude remarks
hurt the Beaver family's feelings
And when Timothy Turtle seized a
fat lady by the tail one day ana
wouldn't let her go until sunset, her
feelings were hurt most OF all. she,
cried that she had never been so IN
suited in all her life.
Timothy Turtle merely said that
she ought not to object. He explained
that he mad been giving her rest
for of course she couldn't cut down
tree, nor work upon the dam that
held the water in the pond, while MT
clung fast to her tail.
Well, this fat lady happened to be
Brownie Beavers mother. And after
her disagreeable experience with the
stranger, Brownie made up his mind
that he would make Timothy Turtle
work. That was the worst punishment
he could think of.
Whenever the members of the Bea-
yer family We're not sleeping, or eat
ing, either they were gathering food
BY cutting down trees, or they were
mending their dam.
The dam always had leaks here and
there. And sooner or later every one
of them had to be stopped, before 1t
grew so big that the water would rush
through it and tear hole SO great
that the pond would be drained dry,
During his stay among the Beavers
Timothy Turtle often crawled on top
of the dam and stretched himself out
and watched the Beavers at their task
He said that if there was one thing
that he liked to see more than ano-
ther it was "a gang Of men working"
But he complained that they ought to
work in the daytime, when the sun was
shining, because then it would have
been "much pleasanter for him"

Many farmers throughout the coun-
