johnny Chuck knew all about the
carrots growing down in part of
+. arimcr Browns co1nfield. He had
seen there more than once. On this
PARTICULAR morning he had a ham
licring for a taste of carrots, SO
finally he decided that the would
so over to the field. Now Johnny
lives where the flooding of the
Mcxdows does not affect him. The
great rain had made no particular
difference to Johnny Chuck. save
that 1t had made wet going. So,
after sitting up for a moment or
two ana looking at the flooded
Green Meadows, Johnny gave the
matter no more thought.
Johnny had almost reached the
edge of the carrot patch when he
was startled to discover that the
patch already had a visitor. Digging
up a carrot right in front OF him
was some one in a brown coat. And
a little way off. digging up another
carrot, was some one else in a
brown coat. Johnny gave little
whistle of surprise and sat up to
look. At the sound Of that whistle
Jerry Muskrat looked up quickly
When he saw who 1t was he re-
sumed his digging. He knew that
Johnny Chuck would not bother
him.
MY goodness. it's Jerry Musk
rat" exclaimed Johnny Chuck
What are you doing so far from
the Smiling Pool?"
There isn't any Smiling Pool

thing to eat" replied Jerry rather
shortly.

Then Jerry told Johnny Chuck
