when there are young pelicans at home.
Little pelicans start out with good sized
appetites, and keep their parents busy
bringing in the food.
When they are walking around on
land, pelicans look very awkward; but
they have a fine power Of fight. At
the seaside you may sometimes see a
flock swooping down on school of
fish in shallow water. The fish have
come to shallow water to escape big

times light on the beaks of pelicans
and steal fish before they go down

Out of Trouble Into Trouble.
When out Of trouble you may leap
From other trouble try to keep.
Old Mr.. Toad.

~ LID Mr. Toad warns you to look
before you leap, even though
you be leaping from danger.
" There is nothing gained by
jumping from one kind of
trouble into another just as bad. Old
Mr.. Toad knows. He has had expert
ence. And that experience has cost
him many frights and a great deal Of
worry. So just heed Old Mr.. Toad's
warning.
He had heard the call Of the sweet
singers in the Smiling Pool and had
needed it. Hop. hop, hipper ty-hop, he
had started from Farmer Browns gar
den for the Smiling Pool down on the
Green Meadows. 1t was long journey
for Old Mr.. Toad to make. You know
he has to travel in short hops and 1
suspect that If you had to hop all the
way from Farmer Browns garden down
to the Smiling Pool you would call it
long journey. even though you are ever
and ever so many times larger than Old
Mr. Toad
He started early in the evening, but
he stopped so many times to catch
worms and insects and to rest that by
morning he was only at the edge of the
garden. There he crept under big
stone and took long nap. When he
awoke 1t was raining. This just suited
him. Had jolly. round. bright Mr.. Sun
been shining Old Man Toad would have
waited for the coming Of the Black
Shadows, for he cannot travel in the
heat Of bright day. But the rain
made all the difference in the world
and he bravely started on, hop, hop,
hipperty- hop.
He went down to the edge Of Farmer
Browns cornfield, which had been
plowed but not yet planted. He hop
ped along the line Of the fence, keep
ing just outside the tangled dead grass
just under the fence 1t was easier
going there. Then. too, he could see
where he was going. So he solemly
moved along, hop, hop. hipperty- hop.
Suddenly just back Of him. short
distance, Sammy Jay began to scream
at the top of his voice and at the same
time dart down toward the grass. Other
birds began to hurry over there and do
the same thing and all were both ex-
cited and angry.
Old Mr.. Toad stopped to listen and
wonder what 1t was all about Then
suddenly it came to him what the
cause Of all the excitement was.
1T Is Mr.. Blacksnake!" he gasped
Il know it. Sammy Jay discovered
iilIl duu now dII CIlOSe DlIQS are Try
ing to make life miserable for him
and drive him away. What if he should
come this way Oh dear! I must
get away from here and find place
to hide!''
Sheer terror took possession Of Old
Mr.. Toad. He hasn't many enemies.
OF those he has he fears none quite as
he does Mr.. Blacksnake So now away
he went, hop, hop, hipperty-ho hop,
