The beavers were very busy, with a
boss beaver urging them on. 1t took
only a glance to see what they were
doing-they were building the dam
higher. Some beavers were cutting
down bushes and small trees; other
beavers were carrying sticks and
placing them in the dam; still others
were plastering the sticks with mud
and stones. They worked just as
skillfully as humans.
did the beavers build that dam
all by themselves" asked Jack in
surprise.
Eyes" replied Perky Squirrel They
are as clever at building a dam as
l am in building a nest in a tree"
But why did they build the DAM"
asked Janet.
Because they are swimming ami
mails and the creek wasn't deep
enough for them to swim in," an
swered Perky Squirrel. Besides they
always have the doors of their nests
under water"
Jack and Janet thought it very wise
of the beavers to make a pond that
way.
"But they aren't building a swim
ming pond dam now" Perky Squirrel
went on. "They made that dam last
fall. This dam is a spite dam, and
with it Bucky Beaver plans to flood
the whole valley and drown all the
forest folks.''
Whom has he a spite against?"
asked Janet.
Against me-" promptly replied
Darby Cn,,i,raI NIIa ;1 n IoI ho1
beaver.
why has he a spite against your"
asked Janet.
Eek! Elk! Just because" replied
Perky Squirrel, beginning to fidget
and look very uncomfortable.
"Hump!" snorted an indignant
voice from a hole in the ice close
to the edge Of the pond. Jack and
Janet looked down. There was the
boss of the beavers-Bucky Beaver
himself. He had swung across the
pond under the ice. Hump" re-
peated Bucky Beaver. 1--WE have a
spite against him and are going to
drown him and his friends because
they have held noisy parties keeping
us awake when we wanted to sleep"
Jack and Janet turned to Perky
Squirrel, who looked very guilty.
guilty.
well, the beavers started it," chat
tered Perky sulkily. when they
built their dam last fall they cut
down a tree in which 1 liked to play.
To get even with them l played
tricks on them. And the best trick
of all was to hold parties with the
%chipmunks and the rabbits IN the
banks of the pond, while the beavers
were having daytime sleeps after
their nighttime work. My, it made
Bucky Beaver mad" Perky Squirrel
got over his crossness long enough
to smoker loudly. Bucky Beaver
frowned.
Eyes, we were mad and now we
are going to make Perky Squirrel
sad" he grunted. "Our dam will hold
back the melting snow waters and
flood the valley. You can't get the
better of us beavers. Ha! Ha! Ha!
And Bucky Beaver dived under the
ice to swim back to hurry on the
workers at the dam.

Bucky Beavers Dam

TACK and Janet looked in wonder
at the animals working on the
dam at the farther side of the
pond.

were about as long as a rabbit and
had dark fur. Their tails were round
and hairy. Their hind feet were webb

knew they were water animals. In

worked they every now and then
