Now over on the other side of the
Long Lane was a spring where
Farmer Browns boy filled his jug
with clear cold water to take with
him to the cornfeld when he had
to work there. Striped Chipmunk
knew all about that spring, for he
had been there for drink many
times. So he told Grandfather Frog
just where the spring was and how
to get to it. He even offered to show
the way. But Grandfather Frog said
that he would rather go alone.
watch out, Grandfather Frog,
and don't fall in, because you might
not be able to get out again"
warned Striped Chipmunk.
Grandfather Frog looked up sharp
ly to see if Striped Chipmunk was
making fun of him. The very idea
Of anyone thinking that he, who had
lived in the water all his life,
couldn't get out when he pleased!
But Striped Chipmunk looked really
in earnest, so Grandfather Frog
swallowed the quick retort on the
tip of his tongue, thanked Striped
Chipmunk, and hurried away to look
for the spring, for he was very,
very thirsty. Besides, he was very,
very hot, and he hurried still faster
as he thought Of the cool bath he
would have when he found the
spring.

my advice, Grandfather Frog, and
go back to the Smiling Pool as fast
as you can. The Great World is no
place for an old fellow like you, be-
cause you don't know how to take
care of yourself"
Now when he said that Striped
Chipmunk made great mistake.
Old people never like to be told
that they are old or that they do not
know all there is to know Grand
father Frog Strengthened up and
tried to look very dignified.
''Chugarum!" said he, ''Pd have
you to know, Striped Chipmunk, that
people were coming to me for adj
vice before you were born. It was
just an accident that Farmer
Browns boy caught me, and I'd like
to see him do it again. Yes, sir,
I'd like to see him do it again!"
Dear me, dear me! Grandfather
Frog was boasting. If he had been
safe at home in the Smiling Pool
there might have been some excuse
for Boosting, but way over here in
the Long Lane, not even knowing
the way back to the Smiling Pool, it
was foolish, very foolish, indeed. No
one knew that better than Striped
Chipmunk. But he has a great deal
of respect for Grandfather Frog and
he knew, too, that Grandfather Frog
was feeling very much out of sorts
and very much mortified to think
that he had been caught in such a
scrape, SO he put hand over his
mouth to hide smile as he said:
"Of course he isn't going to catch
you again. I know how wise and
smart you are, but you look to me
very tired and there are so many
dangers out here in the Great World
that it seems to me that the very
best thing you can do is to go back
to the Smiling Pool"
But Grandfather Frog is stubborn,
you know. He had started out to
see the Great World and he didn't
want the little people of the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest to
think that he was afraid. The truth
is Grandfather Frog was more
afraid of being laughed at than he
was Of the dangers around him,
which shows just how foolish wise
people can be sometimes. So he
shook his head.
''Chugarlfn!" said he, II am go.

Grandfather Frog was so relieved

over and over again. Striped Chip

nothing at all, and that he was
very glad, indeed, to help Grand
father Frog.
