Nancy and Nick crawled through
the little hole in Doofunny Land that
ended in the old stump in the meadow.
Right ahead of them hoped the
frog that the fairy had changed. y
few minutes before he had been a
cotton frog with green tissue paper
skin and wire toes. Now he was
real live frog from head to foot. and
he was making for the pond where he
had always lonsed to live.
"Kerchug, Chugalug, Chugalo-
ruml HUNK" he kept saying over
and over. trying every new word
that came into his head. Il never
could do that before. How handsome
my voice is"
Soon he reached the pond and
stood for minute looking down into
the muddy water.
AT last" he gurgled, Il can dive,
and swim, and splash. and toast my
self in the sun. and catch flies.
Hooray"'
With that he gave one wild leap
and Owed head first into the water.
Hes all right" said Nancy. As
happy as a fly in a sugar barrel.
Let's 60 hack and tell Mister Fuzz
Wuzz all about him?
"All right" agreed Nick, "come
on"
Just then they saw a brownish fig
ure long and slim and furry slip
close to the edge of the water As
silently as shadow. There it waited.
The Twins waited, too, for they
knew exactly who it was. They had
seen him before and they knew that
ne liked frogs-to eat. Il was Marty
Mink.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-16

The long brown figure slipped into
the water without a ripple and sanL
from view.
oh. he'll get him, He'll get him.
screamed Nancy.
But her voice frightened the mink
He crawled out OF the water on the
opposite side of the pond and sneak
ed off into the grass.
At that minute the little green
frog poked IN his head. Whats
wrong?" he croaked. What dill
you scream for? You made me aw-
fully nervous"
1.-The mink was after you," said
Nancy. "Hc nearly got you and il
he had he'd have eaten you at one
bite
"Minks :" trembled the frosgie. Il
never heard of such things. Do they
actually eat frogs? never knew any
thing ate frogs except ducks" =
Ohio" shouted Nick. That shows
YOU don't know much. Didn't you
know that minis and weasels and
owls and martens and nearly all the
wild creatures just love frogs. AMI
that you're never safe n minute
No. no. no, no. no. croaked the
frog. Il never knew that. l thought
that ill they had to do was TO en-
joy themselves. Oh. do take me-
back to Doofunny Land and have
the fairy turn me back into nice
cotton frog again. Nothing ever
hurt me and I was very happy"
The Twins picked him up.
I'll tell YOU another time what
Happened then.
