 sometimes go hungry when they wouldn't if they had a little of the patience of Longlegs.
 Now, Grandfather Frog is another who is very, very patient. He can sit still the longest time waiting for some thing to come to him. Indeed, he can sit perfectly still so long, and Longlegs can stand perfectly still so long, that Jerry Muskrat and Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter have had many. long disputes as to which of the two can keep still the longest.
 Longlegs had come over to the Smiling Pool because Little Joe Otter and Billy Mink had told him that Grandfather Frog was sitting on the big green Hlypad fast asleep.
 He will make a splendid break fast" thought Longlegs. as, very, very carefully he walked along the edge of the Smiling Pool so as to get right opposite Grandfather Frog. There he stopped and looked very hard at Grandfather Frog. Yes, he certainly must be asleep. for his eyes were closed. Long1egs chuckled to himself right down inside without making a souRd. and got ready to WdQe Out so <fS ttO get W ltiltfi lSUSl.

He was just pretending to lbe asleep, and all the time he vas watching Longlegs out of corner o fone of his big goggly eyes. Very, very slowly and carefully. so as not to make tho teeniest. weeniest sound. Longlegs lifted one foot to wade out into the Smiling Pool. Grsndfather Frog pretended to yawn and opened his big goggly eyes. Longlegs stood on one foot without moving so much as feather. Grandfather Frog yawned again. nodded as if he was too sleepy to keep awake. and half closed his eyes. Longlegs waited and waited. Then, little by little. so slowly that if you had been there you would hardly have seen him move, he drew his long neck down until his head rested on hist shoul- ders

 But Grandfather Frog didn't go to sleep. He would nod and nod and then, just as when Longlegs would make up his mind that this time he was really asleep. open would DOT Grandfather Frogs eyes. So all the long morning Longlegs stood on ont foot without moving, watching anc waiting and growing hungrier ant hungrier. and all the morning Grand father Frog sat on his big. greer l lilypad, pretending that he was. oh so sleepy. and all the time having such d comfortable sun bath and rest | for very early he had had such { good breakfast of foolish green flies Over in the bulrushes on the othel side of the Smiling Pool two lttl' | scamps in brown bathing suits hat waited and watched for the grea fright they had planned for Grand father Frog when they had sen Longlegs to try to catch ESn.
