TINY TOAD GROWS FAD”!

If only people always know The good that other people do! -Old Mother Nature.

Tiny Toad had been some weeks out of the Smiling Pool where he was born. First. he had been a tad- pole; iittle black tadpole with a long tail. breathing in the water as fish does. He had had no little legs then. but by and by one of the most wonderful of all changes had taken place. He had changed all over. He had grown four legs. At the same time his tail had become shorter and shorter until it had disappeared altogether. He had learned to breathe air. He had learned to live on the land instead of in the water.

When he was a tadpole. he hadn't had to catch his food. He had lived on Vegetable matter. Now that he was on land he had ” a hunter.'No longer found his food ready for him to help himself; he had to hunt it and catch it. But that was fun. Yes. air, that was fun. It is a curious thing, but hunt- ing others seems to be fun for a great manyfolks right up to Man.

way were always welcome. He had the best of appetites and wasn't fussy about his food. Any insect or little worm that he could swallow was good. He swallowed a lot of them. My goodness. what a tot. he did awallowl In doing this, he was doing a great deal of good. but he didn't know that. He wasn't trying to do good. All he was trying to do was keep his stomach filled. But many of those insects were doing a great deal of harm to growing things. so without knowing it he was doing a great deal of good.

He was growing fast. He was growing so fast that his plump little body was almost round. And he was getting it deal of fun out of living. Every one should get fun out of living. If they do not. it very often is their own fault. Life can be lived even dangerously and still be fun.

Tiny Toad was having fun. He really was no longer tiny. He still was a little Toad. but not small enough to be called tiny. Anyway. that is how he felt about it. The truth is .he was beginning to feel what is called self-important. so far he had made his way in the Great World with no help from any one. so perhaps he had a right to feel self-important. Young folks are very apt to feel that way.

Th truth is, this litie Toad had been very. very lucky. Exceptlng when Peter Rabbit had accidentally stepped on him. nothing serious had happened to him. Perhaps it was not wholly luck. Perhaps it. was partly because he had been very watchful and careful. Perhaps it was because he was so very, very small that it had been easy for him to keep hidden from hungry eyes that would have been only too glad to discover him.

But. now that he was getting fat and bigger he had to spend more time hunting because he needed more food. Of course the more he hunted. the more he had to move and the more he moved about. the more likely he was to be seen by those he didn't want to be seen by.

While he had been the first of the young Toads to leave the water this spring, sortie of his brothers and sisters had caught up with him. They didn't stay together. but he saw one or more of them almost every day. There were so many of those young Toads that he was almost sure to meet one. every time he started out hunting. some of these had had real ad- ventures. Some had seen dreadful things happen to others and these were much more timid than was he. They were always looking for trouble. where as he sometimes forgot that there could be any- thins dreadful happen. l

"Caw. caw. caw!" That was Blacky the Crow. Tiny Toad stop- ped and listened. "Caw. caw. caw. cawl" Little Toad rolled his email golden eyes up. What. was that noisy fellow up in the sky maxim such an unpleasant sound for? without his knowing Just why. it gave him an uneasy felling. There was something unpleasant about -that harsh voice.

"I guess I'll just watch out fea- that felIow." said Little Toad to himself. Two minutes later he hrc forgotten all about it,
