bon. On the back of the card the
child's name was written. Then each
child was given a slip OF paper and
told to promise not to tell what was
written on his slip. Then Johns
mother called a number, for instance
/ when she called 8, the child holding
the slip with that figure was told to
go to the blackboard and draw on It
a picture of the animal named on the

on their cards opposite the number 3

After the twenty animals have been
drawn and guessed, the correct list is

If the stopping place is q pond or
lake, we tilt up on end, and gather
in the wild celery, cress, and lily
roots; and If it is on land, we spread
out over the fields and feast on the
shattered grain. But In either event,
we are careful to keep sentinels post

the alarm, so that we can make a
getaway in time. After eating all
our stomachs will hold. we tuck heads
under wings, stand on one foot, and
