FOXY GRANDPA'S STORY

scales like his mothers and
fathers begin to show. The dark
bands disappear and he Is called
by another name. The parr be-
comes a 'smolt.'
"Then he becomes venturesome,
this smolt, and grows tired Of the
fresh water OF the river and de-
ctdes to go abroad. Out into the
ocean he swims bravely and has
the time of his life eating young
shrimps and baby crabs. He is
quite a fellow and fish Of the sea
by now.
after several months, however,
this young sport gets a little
homesick and longs for the scenes
of his parrhood. So back up the
river he goes, to his birthplace.
Every salmon goes back to his
old home town, and after his first
trip to sea he gets another name.
The smolt becomes a 'grilse,' and
not until he has made his second
trip to sea is he a proper sal
mon.'
Then starts his busy life. Each
year the salmon goes to sea and
each year he comes home. And,
of course, there are lady salmon,
too, who come and so with him.
Up the rivers they go, and if
there happens to be a waterfall,
the salmon will jump right up
over the fall. They can jump as
high as sixteen feet"
"Some jump said Bobby.
