ended in the old stump in the. mea-

Right ahead of them hoped the
frog that the fairy had changed. A

cotton frog with green tissue paper

real live frog from head to foot, and

self in the sun, and catch flies.
Hooray!"
With that he gave one wild lean
and Owed head first into the water.

opposite side Of the pond and
'neaked off into the grass.
AT that minute the little green
frog poked up his head. What's

you scream for? You made me aw-
ully nervous. !
The mink was after YOU, said |
Nancy. He nearly got you and if
