in clump of ferns and watched
Paddy the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy
come up from their pond to a tree
just a little way from where he was
hiding. He fairly trembled with

food OF Paddy and Mrs. Paddy. The
tree was already nearly cut through.

reached that tree they stopped. While
Paddy carefully examined the tree
where they had been cutting it Mrs.
Paddy sat testing the Little Night
Breezes with her nose for any tell
tale scent of enemies they might
carry. Fortunately for Old Man
Coyote none of the Little Night
Breezes had passed his way. OF
course, Mrs. Paddy didn't smell him.
