Cubby, the little bear. spent tho night before Thanksgiving curled up in a hollow In the base Of 8 big tree. He was lonely and somewhat upset, but he wasn't particularly frighteu- cd. You see, by this time .e folt quite equal to looking after himself. The chic, thing that bothered him wa. his appetite. He went 10 bod hungry and he awoke s-il. moro hungry. To make matters worse, he couldn't find much to eat. IT. fact, he sound almost nothing al a.l And thls on Thanksgtving Day, Probably Cubby would have felt a whole lot worse ir he had known that it was Thanksgiving Day.
 Now. the way in which Farmer Browns Boy always celebra,e ,es Thanksgiving Day is 10 make sure that all his little furred and feather cd neighhors have reason to give thanks because he is their friend. He does his best to make sure that each one has all he can possibly eat on Thanksgiving Day. So early in the morning on this particular Thanks giving Farmer Browns Boy had gone over 10 the Green Forest 10 take some buckWhea to ThUnderor the Grouse and Mrs Grouse.
 He had spread the bUckwhcat at one Of their favorite feeding grounds and was just turning away when q rustling of levase caught his attou- Aion. He stopped instantly and t"troze," as the saving is That Is. he stood perfectly still. holding his breath. Tn q moment small bear came trottting into view. II was .Cubby There was no doubt in the mind Of Farmer Browns Boy. His good d-natured, freckled face broke into broad grin. At that very in- stant CUbby sniffed a merry little breeze that had blown straight from Farmer Browns Boy 10 him. He stopped abruptly and stared very hard, Farmer Browns By spoke to him. At the sound Of th2r voice Cub by looked as friendly H9 he knew how. Hesitating just < tIt, he came toward Farmer Browns Boy. Then his inquisitive little nose discovered the buckwheat that Farmer Browns Boy had scattered about Cubhy was hungry. He wasn't above eating buckwheat
 A sudden fear came 10 Farmer Browns Boy that Chubby might fol- low him home and then would begin oyer again all those troubles about which l have told you Watching hig chance, he slipped away while Cub by was engaged in looking for buck wheat. Then Farmer Browns Boy hurried

You will remom- Der that Mother Brown was very fond Of Cubby Half an hour later Farmer Browns Boy was headed back to'I 'd the Grren Forest. On his arm was q basket. In that basket was such a dinner as C0bbv had never dreamed Of eating. It WIS his Thanksgiving dinner. He smollod it even before Farmer Browns Boy was in sight and he ran 10 meet his. He was so eager for that dinner that he pulled that basket right out of Farmer Browns Boys hands and upset ii.
