Laughing Goose.
But while that is one Of our family
names we have another name, too.
Our other name is that of Ameri-
can White-Fronted Goose"
'How did you get your name of
Laughing Goose?" asked Billie
Brownie.
WELL" said the Laughing Goose.
"our song, or talk. or noise or what
ever you wish to call II sounds like
harsh laughter. That is how we were
given the name.
II have a white forehead, you will
notice, and that is why we have the
family name of White-FrOnted Geese.
I'VE all have these white foreheads.
My head and body is grayish in color
with touches of black and white. Ny
feet are bright yellow and my beak is
rose-pink. l have a lovely colored
beak
MY eyes are brown.
"Well, we're called American be-
cause we belong to the American con-
tinent. But we do not come to the
United States until the weather gets
colder.

icy cold even In the summer, up In

dts Too Bad" Said Billie Brownie.


Of Laughing Geese, as sometimes you
| will mistake our noise for laughter or
our laughter for noise.
1--WE like marshy nests, and our
ladies make the loveliest of soft beds
for the nests frog their very own
down.
'They don't believe in buying things
like that. They like what they have
in their own selves. Then they know
it's of the best.
MANY eggs are laid at time and
they are all tan-white in color. Some
times as many as nine eggs are laid
in one nest.
'The nest is always made Of soft
grass. too-marshy, long grass is the
best.
sometimes in the winter we will go
fairly far South-down into California
for that is so pleasant. But when
spring is on the way we 60 far to the
north.
"We love the Mississippi river and
we simply adore the Pacific ocean.
"But we never had much desire to
go to see the Atlantic ocean.
"Why change ocean sides when one
is quite satisfied? You know the geese
aren't foolish.
"They're pretty sensible.
"But, oh dear, Billie Brownie, we
have to be so careful these days.
eve used to be hunted so much that
hod To he FIJI
zone has to be on ones guard
when people are about. And so we
arranged that some Of us would al
ways be on guard to sound an alarm
If danger was near.
'When some of us are eating, others
are watching to see that danger does
not overtake us.
Eyes, we have to watch like that.
"Then others eat while we watch
and we watch while others eat.
''That is the way we have to do.
80, Billie Brownie, If it weren't for
our care, and our helping each other
/ don't believe we'd have the spirit to
laugh.
"We keep pretty safe this way, and
SO we still can laugh. But It's no laugh
ing matter to be shot at.
mo laughing matter at all.
'Even as I talk to you, and while
some OF the others are having a meal,
there are members of the family on
guard. You see Pm busy talking and

family are"
''It's too bad" said Billie Brownie.
ITS really too bad. But I'm glad you
always have members of your family
on guard. That's wise.
Surely you're sensible geese Sure
