BURGESS Looking up through the tree tops, he caught a glimpse of a pair of ducks. They were headed toward Paddy's pond. | He had only a glimpse of them, but he ‘was sure he recognized them. “Those were the Wood Ducks!” he ex- claimed. “I am sure of it. I wonder what they have come back for.” He forgot that. he was. hungry. His | curiosity was greater than his hunger. Away he went, MNpperty-lipperty-lip, straight for the shore of Paddy’s pond. When he came.in sight of it, there. sat Beauty and Mrs. Wood Duck preening their feathers as-if they had never been away at all. o you decided to come back, did " cried Peter. 0," replied Beauty, “we didn't de- cide to come back. We simply decided to stay.” “But you went away!” cried Peter. “I saw you go. Why did you change your minds and come back?” “We didn't change our minds,” re- plied Beauty. ‘You see, we hadn’t made them up then. We didn't really go away—we just looked things over.” “I told you there were plenty of trees,” cried Peter. “Perhaps - you are right” replied Heauty. “We didn’t find but one, but one is all we can use, 5o we have de- cided to stay.” “I am so glad!” cried Peter. “We'll be neighbors now. But I don’t under- stand what you mean by saying that you could find only one tree.” “I mean,” replied Beauty, “that we could find only one suited to our needs.” Peter. thought. of all the big trees in th‘edfihr:en Forest. “You must be fussy,” v 5 “We, are,” replied Beauty. “We are very fussy. A tree must be just right or it will not do at all. Sometimes we have to go guite a distance from' water to find just the right kind of tree. This time we found one located " just right. I don't believe we could find a better anywhere. As soon as we found y Cross-Word Puzzle 5 's pen name. . Damp angd dark. . FPrinters’ measures. Deer. . Preface to a poem. . Guide. .
