come early last night and worked
thick"
Then Paddy dived and swan
straight to where the Laughing
Brook enters his pond. He knew that
there he would find open water, for it
takes very cold weather and much Of
1t to freeze running water. There he
poked his head out and drew a long
breath. It was sharp and clear. that
air he filled his lungs with, and 1t
made him tingIe all over. Then he
looked at his pond: 1t was one great
sheet of clear. glistening. smooth ice.
Paddy looked over at his house. He
didn't need to go over to it to know
that Jack Frost had been busy there.
too. Paddy chuckled. Jack Frost
has frozen hard all that mud l COW
ing to himself. "He can't freeze it
too hard to suit me. Now / shall feel
quite safe. He certainly has been
busy"
Paddy was right: Jack Frost had
been busy. All through the stilly
night. for this time he had come
he had worked fast and hard. The
Smiling Pool was frozen over just as
was the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
and above the ice stood the roof of
Jerry MuSkratS house. Jack Frost
hadn't had so much work to do there,
for Jerry's roof was chiefly Of rushes
and there was not such Il lot of mud
to make hard as at Paddy's house.
He had frozen the ground until it
was SO hard that even the sharp hoofs
of Lightfoot the Deer left no mark.
He had covered the quiet places on
the Big River with ice and made a
beautiful shining fringe of it all
along the Laughing Brook. He had
crept through cracks in Farmer
Browns henhouse and made the hens
crowd closer together to keep warm.
He had found Peter Rabbit and made
Peter jump and skip and scamper
about. He had ptnched Bobby Coon's
nose when he poked it out Of his
hollow tree. and Bobby had decided
very promptly that he didn't want to
go out, but would sleep instead
All over the Green Meadows and the
Old Pasture and through the Green
Forest and the Old Orchard went
Jack Frost that night. and there
wasn't crack so small that he didn't
find 1t and blow his cold breath
through IT. He had come to stay and
he meant that everybody should
know it. It was a busy night for
Jack Frost. Yes. stree, it was a busy
ninht for Jack Frost. And when
morning came some were glad and
some were sad. and all knew that the
days ahead were for those only who
were stout of heart.
