The independent never yearn To know of things not their concern. Oid Mother Nature. There was no doubt about it—Dipper the Grebe and Mrs. Grebe had really decided to stay in the Smiling Pool. Peter Rabbit knew that if they had not decided to stay they would have gone on long ago. Naturally Peter was great- ly interested in where they would build their home. His_curiosity was very greatly aroused. You know, Peter al- ways is curious about the homes of other people. You know, it is not a great ways from "ISN'T IT ALMOST TIME FOR YOU TO BUILD YOUR NEST?" IN- gUIRED PETER OF DIPPER ONE AY. the Smiling Pool to the Big River, and Dipper the Grebe and Mrs. Grebe often went down to the Big River. Peter wondered if by any chance they were pianning their home down there. He even went down to the Big River, where the Laughing Brook flows into it, but his trip was in vain. He learned noth- ing whatever in regard to the Grebes. “Isn't it almost time for you to build your nest?” inquired Peter of Dipper one day. THE FEVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, MAY: 22, 1929 GAAR WILLIAMS SAILN FOR ™ AD«;IUT BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “It is all built.” replied Dipper. “Mrs Grebe attends to that.” “Really and truly?” asked Peter. “Really and truly.” replied Dipper. “I haven't seen it.” said Peter. “That is your misfortune,” | Dipper. “Won't you show it to me?” Peter | asked. At this Dipper became indignant. “You know better, Peter Rabbit, than |to ask such a thing as that. You | wouldn't show any one your home, so replied why should you expect other peoplé to show you theirs? If you can find it, I| won't have a word to say, excepting! that your eyes are brighter than I think they are.” Now, Peter knew that Dipper was quite right in what he had said. Peter knew that a home among the little peo- ple of the Green Forest and the Green | Meadows, the Laughing Brook and the | Smiling Pool was rightfully a secret as long as they can keep it such. So there was nothing to do but to use his eyes |and do his best to find out that secret. | After that Peter went poking around, {but he had the same luck that he had {in trying to find the home of Beauty | the Wood Duck. He didn't know where to look. You see, he had no idea what kind of nest the Grebes would build, and Dipper wouldn't tell him. So there was nothing for Peter to_do but to look in all sorts of places. He did. He looked up in trees, he looked in bushes, he looked on the ground. However, not once did he find anything that looked as if it might be the nest of a Grebe. He nsked all the people around the Smiling Pool if they had seen the nest of the Grebes. but they all shook their | heads, ~As most of them had homes | and familles of their own, they were | not interested, so no one would help Peter look for their nest. Evety time Peter saw Dipper, Dipper | would ask if he had found that nest. Peter would shake his head. Then Dip- per would chuckle. “There must be something the mat- | | ter with vour eyes, Peter,” he would | say. “There must be something the | matter with your eyes. I'm glad of it. That nest is our secret.” “You are keeping it & secret all right,” Peter would say. “We intend to.” Dipper would reply. (Copsright, 1929.)
