BURGESS Who doth much time devote to fishing Is given over much to wishing —Old Mother Nature, ‘The home of Chatterer the Red Squirrel was over in the Green Forest and there's where he stays most of the time. He had built his nest in an oak tree over near the Laughing Brook, where it runs through the Green For- est. Now the Laughing Brook has many | visitors. Many come to it to drink.| Some use it as a sort of highway. One of these is Billy Mink. And many visit it to try to catch fish. Of late Chatterer had heard a good deal of complaint. He had heard Farmer Brown's Boy one day over| there muttering to himself. Farmer| Brown's Boy was fishing, but he wasn’t catching fish. It was this that he was muttering about. Another day he discovered Billy Mink sitting on a rock in the Laugh- Buster Bear coming down the Laugh- ing Brook. He knew by Buster's ac- tions that Buster was watching for fish. He had seen Buster catch fish before. But Buster wasn't catching fish, In his deep rumbly-grumbly voice he was talking to himself. “Such fishing! Such fishing!” grumbled Buster. “Where have all the fish gone to? I'd like to know if Billy Mink and his family and Little Joe Ot- ter and his family have cleaned them all out.” “I don’t know about Little Joe Otter, but I can answer for Billy Mink,” re- plied Chatterer. “Only yesterday I heard Billy complaining that some one had fished this brook so that there are hardly any fish left. If it had been Billy and his family, he wouldn't have been complaining of other people.” ‘When Buster Bear passed on, Peter Rabbit came out from a hollow log, “Buster I MUST REHEARSE THE ORATION I'M T® GWE BeFoRE THE GLKkS ON THE FOURTH oF JULY!

Longlegs the Heron says that if it were not for pollywogs and small frogs he would starve to death if he had to depend on the Smiling Pool and | the Laughing Brook. I wonder where the fish have gone to. Little Joe Otter isn't to blame, for he hasn't been around all Spring.” “It's probably those two-legged crea- tures called men,” sald Chatterer. “When anything goes wrong in the Green Forest you can usually make up !?ul!; mind that they are at the bottom of it “It may be so.” replied Peter. “T don’t believe it this time, however, for there have been fewer of those two-| AND 1 PROMISED To WIRE MOM AS SCON AS 1 MADE A BI6 HIT IN WALL STREET !
