Then out on the end of that old
board climbed Frog bigger than the
little Sandpiper had dreamed q Frog

The other little Sandpipers came
up to see what their brother was
looking at and the four stood staring
at Grandfather Frog. They were not
afraid. He might be big but, after
all, he was a Frog, and they had
learned not to fear Frogs. One of
them hoped up on the board. Just
then their father, Teeter, called
sharply. 1t was a warning They

NOW, IN running along the shore
the little Sandpipers became ac-
oualnted with some of the water folk
Not lnfreQuently they would discover
Frog sitting at the edge of the
water. None were very big Frogs,
and all seemed intent on their own
affairs. Teeter often would run close
to one OF them. 1t was clear that he
was not afraid Of them To the wee
Sandpipers these Frog folk were
queer looking people, but evidently
harmless. So presently the little
6andplpers paid no attention to the
Frogs and ran close to them without
fear or the least suspicion.
One morning they were running
about on the shore of the Smiling
Pool, hunting for food, which was
what they were doing most of the
time while they were awake. You see,
they were growing fast, and it took a
great deal Of food to satisfy their
appetites. Indeed 1t sometimes
seemed as If those appetites never
were satisfied. When they were, it
was only for very short time. A lot
OF food was required, not only to keep
them growing but to supply the
energy they used up in running about

One Of them, running along with

paused as little splash, just a very
