AS soon as the young scientist

In the meantime she began to write

Could you estimate the average sum per month which your work has given you clear of all living ex- penses, like laundry for instance?"

place and that that little white patch wasn't patch of snow at all.
 But if it wasn't snow what could it be? Peter was slumped, as the saying is. That means that he just couldn't think of any explanation at all. He knew now that it couldn't be snow. He also knew that it couldn't be that white stuff called mold found on dead wood, because that wood wasn't dead. What could it he? Peter thought and thought and thought, and the more he thought the more puzzled he became. He wanted to ask questions, but he questions Of. He couldn't think of anybody who would be more likely to know any more about it than he did. What made those little drops? Why were they sweet? What made that white patch? Did those little drops really come from that white patch? If they did, why didn't that Iwhite patch grow smaller?
 Over and over in his mind Peter kept turning these questions until his head ached. And all the time he sat right in the same place and all he saw in that alder was that one little white patch high above his
 head. It didn't once enter his head
 to look for other white patches. He didn't once think that there might
 be other white patches. And all the time there was one not a foot above his head and where he could have looked at it very easily had he found it. What do you think that white patch was?

 Down fell another drop, but this drop fell right into Peters open mouth. ''Why," exclaimed Peter right aloud, its sweet! Yes. sir, it's sweet! Now what do you know about that? Huh, that's the funniest snow I ever heard of I've seen q lot of snow in my life, but I've never known any before that tasted like honey when it was melted. l won- der if l imagined it.
