seemed like it began to darken. Title

found she was lost! Lost in the woods
and nobody knew where she was.

fluttered off Tillie ran off. She fol-
lowed the path, til she came to a
stream OF water, the path led
clear around the stream, but a log was
iaid across the stream. "I'll take this
route" ascertained Tillie, heading to-

When she got half way across the
log it began to get slippery. She STUN
bled, slipped and splash. She fell in
the stream. She sank, sank, sank fin

screamed but the fish stretched his
fin over her mouth and cut her off
from her breath
Soon the fish stopped. Nov, I'll
