THE CRAZY LOON

Billie Brownie had always wanted to
talk to the bird known as the Loon or
Great Northern Diver.
He had heard the expression "as
crazy as a loon" and he knew 1t wns
always used when people did silly.
crazy things.
He wondered II there was any truth
in the expression or how 1t had started
in the first place.
So he decided he would call upon a
loon.
on his way there he wondered just
how he would talk to the loon.
1t was rather difficult thing to
go to n creature and say:
Look here. old chap. they say
person is as crazy as loon when that
person has been behaving foolishly. Is
it true? Are you about as crazy and
foolish as creature can bef"
Yes. It would he extremely difficult
to say that. and yet that was just ex-
actIy what Billie Brownie wanted to
find out
He puzzled and he puzzled as to the
way At N'ulh ''rasA NV '''iN'' f''''''
Perhaps he would start in by say
ing something about foolishness and
then say, as though 1t had just oc-
CURED to him:
by the way, they tell me you're
bit foolish Yourself"
He was afraid, though. that he
would not be able TO say this in such
way as to make 1t sound Us though
he had just thought of II.
Then he wondered If he could talk
about crazy things people had done
and add:
81 Cont suppose you've ever done
anything silly. have you?"
But he was afraid that might not do.
That might sound as though Ire had
meant the conversation to lead up to
that very subjcCt-as was really the
TRUTH
lie didn't know what to do. And
even after he saw the loon he did not
know what to say. He decided to him
self he would wait awhile and see
whether the loon seemed sensitive or
"tOuchy'' or whether he appeared as
though he would not mind what was
talked Of between them.
The loon did seem very nervous.
He was, Billie Brownie soon saw, n
most marvellous diver and he did his
marketing with great ease and master
fulness
you'll forgive me II I'm n bit rest
less" the loon said. Its my dispo-
sition."
Billie Brownie was delighted. Here
was the loon Introducing the subject
himself.
Billie needn't have spent so much
