Bedtime Stories
Nv THORNTON RIIRGEss

At first, when the little meadow
and forest people had been asked to
pardon the tricks that Mistah Mocker
and Unc' Billy Possum had played a
few were inclined not to. While
they were talking the matter over
Mistah Mocking Bird began to sing
again that wonderful song of his.
1t was so beautiful that by the
time it was ended every one was
ready to grant the pardon. They
crowded around Mistah Mocking
Bird and because he is good-na-
tured, he made his voice sound like
the voice Of each one who spoke to
him. OF course they thought that
was great fun, and by the time
Unc' Billy Possum's moonlight party
broke up Mistah Mocxing Bird knew
that he had made so many friends
that he could stay in the Green
Forest as long as he pleased.
But there were lot of little
people who were not at Unc' Billy
Possum's party because they 60 to
bed instead Of going out nights.
OF course they heard all about the
party the next morning. and were
very anxious indeed to see the
stranger with the wonderful voice.
So Mistah Mocking Bird went
calling with OF Mistah Buzzard,
and they visited all the little
meadow and forest people who had
not been at the party. OF course,
Mistah Mocking Bird had to show
of his wonderful voice to each one.
When he had finished he was tuck
cred out. was Mistah Mocking Bird,
but he was happy, for now he had
made friends and could live on the
edge of the Green Forest with his
old friends, Unc' Billy Possum and
OF Mistah Buzzard.
So Mistah Mocking Bird soon
made himself at home, and because
he was happy he would sing all
day long. And sometimes when the
moon was shining he woke up in
the night and would sing for very
joy. Now Peter Rabbit thought
Mockers voice such a wonderful
thing that he used to follow Mocker
around just to hear him fool others
by making his voice sound like
theirs. 1t was great fun. Peter
and Mocker became great friends,
and so when Peter heard it whis-
pered around that Mistah Mocking
Bird had not come by his wonderful
voice honestly he didn't believe a
word of 1t and was very indignant.
OF course. he couldn't 60 to Mistah
Mocking Bird himself and ask him.
for he didn't want Mocker to know
that such unkind things were being
said. Finally he thought of Grand
father Frog, who is very old and
very wise. He'll know" said Peter.
as off he posted to the Smiling Pool.
IF you please, Grandfather Frog.
how does it happen that Mocker
has such a wonderful voice and
can make it sound like the voice of
any one whom he hears?" asked
Peter.
Now Grandfather Frog was feel
ing out of sorts that morning. He
hadn't heard the whisper that Mis-
tab Mocking Bird had not come by
his voice honestly, and he thought
that Peter Rabbit was asking just
to hear a story.
"Chugrum!" replied Grandfather
Frog Grossly. Go ask Mr.. Buz.
zard." And that was all that Peter
could get out of him. So not know
ing what else to do, off sarted Peter
Rabbit to ask OF Mistah Buzzard
where his friend, Mistah Mocking
Bird, got such a wonderful voice.
