Mrs. Quack.
Now that Mr.. and Mrs. Quack, the
Mallard Ducks. had arrived with their
| children, Peter Rabbit simply couldn't
leave the pond Of Paddy the Beaver.
He knew he ought to return to the
dear Old Briar Patch. He knew that
little Mrs. Peter would worry and
worry all the time he was away. Yes
he ought to go home. But he was so
curious to know all about the Quacks
and their adventures that he simply
couldn't leave. So Peter decided to
spend the night over in the Green
Forest near Paddys pond. ...-
He would have sat and talked with
the Quacks all night, but they were
tired and hungry. and. after a short
time. went to look for supper along
the shore of the pond. and then. in
tucked their heads under their wings
Tor the first comfortable sleep they
had known since leaving their home
in the Far North.
Peter was on hand on the shore of
the pond bright and early next morn
Ing. and after breakfast Mr.. and Mrs
Quack swan over and came out on
the shore near him while the young
Quacks explored Paddy's pond.
I've thought of you a great many
times since you went through. here in
the spring." said Peter. did you have
, a good journey up to your homer"
Yes" replied Mrs Quack. 1T was
the best journey we have made since
can remember. I don't know why.
but there were no terrible guns any
where along the way (Of course,
Mrs. Quack had no way of knowing
that men had made a new and wise
law, forbidding the shooting of birds
on the way to their summer homes.)
The result was We were feeling fine
when we reached our home and went
right to housekeeping"
Tell me about that home" begged
Peter. Where was it?'
I'm a little grassy pond in the Far
North" replied Mrs. Quack, a dreamy
look in her eyes. The grass and
reeds grew tall around it and all
{ahout were great bogs and marshes,
and there was nothing to fear from
man or from the big people who wear
fur and hunt around the ponds and
lakes of the Great Woods. On n little
grassy island built our nest. 1t was

In addition TO this every couple OF

hang nails are, apt to grow which
must be cut with the scissors
1t takes longer to read about these
