Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

ny AHOANAON W. 0On0LSSs
Just who started 1t nobody seems
to know. Possibly 1t was the Merry
Little Breezes, who are forever try
ing to do something for somebody
else. Anyway. they did a lot OF
whispering and giggling as they
watched Jerry Muskrat making
ready to build his new house. After
ward, they danced away across the
Green Meadows. In a surprisingly
short time all the little people who
live in the Green Meadows and In
the Green Forest seemed to know all
about what was going on at the
Smiling Pool. And they all seemed
to have the same idea, which was,
what do you think? Why, to help
Jerry Muskrat to build his new
house.
Jerry didn't ask for any help. Oh,
my. no! Such thought never en-
tered the head of Jerry Muskrat.
You see, there isn't lazy bone in
Jerry's plump little body.
Jerry Muskrat likes to work,
And though he likes to play,
He'll never, never, never shirk
The duties of each day.
So when Old Mother Nature whis-
pered in his ear that he ought to
build a new house and make ready
for a long, cold winter, Jerry started
in to work right away. He didn't
even mind when Billy Mink and
Little Joe Otter made fun of him,
but dug away down in the mud at
the place where his new house was
to be.
What are you going to make it
off" asked Billy Mink as he sat
kicking his heels on the Big Rock.
Mud and sticks and bulrushes
and grass" replied Jerry Muskrat
as he started to swim to where the
alders grow beside the Laughing
Brook There he found Peter Rabbit
sitting on the bank.
Hello, Peter Rabbit" said Jerry
Muskrat, as he began cutting young
alder shoots. When he had all
he could carry, he started to carry
them over to where he was building
his new house.
Pretty soon Jerry was back in the
alder thicket for another load, and
there he found the incest, the very
incest kind of a surprise. Can
you guess what it WASP It was q
great bundle of alder shoots all
ready for him to push across the
Smiling Pool. Yes, sir, there they
were, and there was Peter Rabbit
gr1nning and cutting more. Jerry
Muskrat was so surprised he could
hardly believe his own eyes, and he
actually suffered as he asked:
"Wha-wha-what does this mean
Peter Rabbit" Peter grinned more
broadly than ever as he replied:
1T means that I want to help you
build that new house, Jerry Musk
rat, and am going to cut all the
alder shoots you need"
Jerry Muskrat thanked Peter and
swan of with the alder shoots.
Pretty soon he needed some willow
shoots. When he reached the place
where the willow grew he found
another surprise-the incest bundle
OF willow shoots, all cut, and Johnny
Chuck cutting more.
You can't have all the fun to
yourself building your own house p
cried Johnny Chuck, his eyes spark
ling.
And so it was chat everybody tried
TO lend a hand. Even Danny Mea-
dow Mouse cut bulrushes, and Billy
Mink and Little Joe Otter pushed
them over to the new house. NV!
my! my! Such a busy time In the
Smiling Pool. And it was hard to
tell VINO was happiest, Jerry Muskrat
or those who were helping him.
