Graywing had mentioned that the Big River ended in the sea, and that it was along the sea that he spent most of his time, coming up the Big River only now and then. “What is the sea?” asked Reddy, for he lived too far from the seashore ever to have visited it.

I'LL MEET ashamed to show his ignorance. He wanted to learn. “The sea is a great lot of water, & different kind of water,” said Gray- wing. Of course, he meant that the water is salt. “Is it as big as the Big River?” Reddy asked, and Graywing chuckled. Reddy looked ‘at him suspiciously. “What are you laughing at?” he de- manded. “Excuse me,” replied Graywing. “Your question struck me as funny until it came to me that the Big River is the most water you ever have seen, 80 of course your question wasn't & funny one but s perfectly natural one. The sea 1s many times bigger than the Big River as the Big River is bigger than the Laughing Brook and a lot more.” Reddy considered this as he watched Graywing and decided that he was telling the truth. “I would like to see it,” said he. “It must be a long way across to the other side.” Graywing wanted to chuckle again at such innocence, but didn’t. “It is,” said he. “It is so far across that I never have seen the other side, not even when I flew so far out that I couldn’t see the shore I had left. All I could ses anywhere was water, By the way, I have seen some of your t relatives living near the sea. Foxes find a good living along the asea- shore.” “What kind of a living?” asked Reddy. “Oh, mostly fish, but sometimes other things, replied Graywing. “Many fish are washed up aiong the seashore. It is an easy living for those who do not prefer to catch their fish.” “Who does?” Reddy asked. “Barker the Seal, for one,” replied Graywing. “And just who is Barker the Seal?” asked Reddy. “A fellow who lives in the sea,” re- plied Graywing. called PFinfoot.” “Huh!” exclaimed Reddy. “That’s & queer name. How did he come by a name like that?” “It is because of his feet,” ex- plained Graywing. “They don't look like feet, but I suppose that that is what they are. They’ve been changed by Old Mother Nature for swimming, instead of walking and running. You ought to see that fellow swim! Yes, sir, you should see him swim!” . “I've seen Little Joe Otter swim,” said Reddy. “Little Joe Otter is & good swim- mer,” replied Graywing, “but Barker “Bometimes he is X} the Seal is even better. He ought to be, for he lives in the water all the time, and Little Joe Otter doesn't.” “Do you mean that Barker never comes out to run about on shore?” demanded Reddy. “He climbs out on rocks, but he never runs about. He can’t. I told you that his feet are for swimming, not for walking or running,” Gray- wing explained. “Do you mean that he can't walk at all?” demanded Reddy. Graywing nodded. “All he can do is to flop along in the clumsiest man- ner. He isn't at home on land. He is no more at home on land than A you would be in the water,” said h: “I can swim,” boasted Reddy. “But you can't swim far, and yol make hard work of it. Barker is t| same way on land. You are at hom only on land. Barker is at home onl; in the sea,” replied Graywing. “Then he must be a fish,” declared Reddy. Graywing shook his head. He shool it hard. you are” he declared. may be a good deal like fins, but tha) doesn't make him a fish. No, sire there is no fish about Barker th Seal except what he eatsl” (Copyright, 1837.)
