"(0 I think I shall not be able to

Bedtime Stories
Danny Becomes Bold.

| like to know what it feels like to sue
cessfully fight an enemy, one who
usually puts me to flight
It was Just then that a half-grown
Gartersnake glided out from the grass
just ahead Of Danny Meadow Mouse.
Danny stopped abruptly. His usually
dull little eyes began to snap. This
Snake was dig enough to put up q
real fight, but not big enough to swal-
low Danny. Danny suddenly became
bold. Yes, sir. Danny suddenly be-
came bold. He pounced on that
Snake.
Now that Snake wasn't expecting
any such attack. 1t never had en-
tered his head that a Mouse would
dare attack him. Probably Danny
wouldn't have attacked him had it
not been that he, Danny. had just
had to run for his life from a bigger
Snake and therefore was in a bad
temper. OF course, that Snake was
quite ready and willing to fight. For
a few moments they rolled over and
over on the ground, the Snake wound
around Danny, and both Of them try
ing to use their teeth.
Now the teeth of a Gartersnake
are very small. They are very small,
indeed. They could hardly more than
scratch Danny. Indeed, they couldn't
do that where his fur was thick.
Danny's teeth, on the other hand,
were long enough and sharp enough
