The Tiny Folk

(A real story at real children (or very young children) I

Laurie and Linda were playing happily about the living room at- ter supper. Their mother was busy doing'ths dishes. after Laurie had helped to clear the table. Linda had wanted to help too, but the thing she insisted on carrying was the tea pot, and that would never

do.

"Oh no, Linda; you must not take that. It's hot," warned her mother.

"Hot?" asked Linda, drawing back her little hand.

”ThIt's not for babies,” Laurie had said importantly. "But I'm big enough to help, aren't 1, Mom- my? llm a big buy now,"

"Oh yes, (or surc," smiled his mother. "You will soon bc iuur years old so you are almost a man. Never mind, you are a good little worker and save me many steps. ”Then she turned and bent down to hug Linda, who was stand- ing. looking rather sni'i'owluI at be- ing left out. And Linda IS a good girl too, ior all she's uiily iiltceii months old. You'll be able to help too when you get older."

Linda smiled and iruttcd oil happily. Just waiting for Laurie to finish so that he could play with her.

Her father came in just then. "Da-doe, daddy," she called, a pleased smilc dimpling her face as she ran to into! him. He picked her up so she could give him a big hug.

"What's all the loving ioi?" ho teased. "You must be wanting a rock."

"Hi-dee. bye, bye." sang Linda as she looked toward the rocking chair.

”All right," grinned her daddy. "Come on in and wcill have a big rock."

But he had only got comfort- ably settled when she started to squirm around, wanting to get down. "You are a queer onc." leased her daddy. "First you want a rock, then you won't stay on my knee."

Linda smiled. then turned to run out to the kitchen, her little ieet pat-patting on the linoleum floor. She reached up to the cupboard for the morning paper and carried it off toward the living room where her father sat.

"Look Mommy. Linda has the Eaper. She might tear it," scolded aurie.

"No. let her go and we'll see what she's planning to do with it first," whispered his mother. She and Laurie inllowed the baby into the next room. 1

Linda went straight to her fa- ther and placed the paper on his knee. "Da-dee. da-dee," she called

"Did you bring me the paper?" asked her father, a pleased smile lighting his face. "You are a smart. smart girl."

Linda. stood waiting. When he Opt on smoking and did not pick

the paper. she went: back to ism. She lifted up the paper, open- ed It out. and put it into his hand. He looked at her, then at her mother. Linda Qaent forward to look at the back page. ”A ga dee In Us. hi de da," she pretended to Mad.

Laurie laughed aloud as he ran for to hug her and kiss her. 'Smart girl! smart girl!" he praised. "You brought Daddy the input so he could read. Then you read some of it aloud to me. Were you reading me the story? Isn't she cute, Mommy?"

Mrs. Page smiled happily down It the two, Laurie still standing with his arms around his baby sis- ter. 1lYes, she is. dear. She was just a little bit jealous because you helped me with the dishes and shc

Buster Chuck was his iat.her's own sun, which is a way 0! say- ing that he was very like his father in the things he did. He was digging I! new home. Ho had never dug a home beiore. He had never done any real digging. You see, he was

some folks have to learn to do things, and some folks know with- out learning. It was so with the young chuck. He dug that. new house Just as his lather, Johnny Chuck. or his mother, Polly Chuck, would have dug it. He didn't hesit- ate at all. First he decided lust it here he would have his doorway. It wouldn't do to have it just any-. where. Theze was an old stone wall between 4'! ilcld and a garden. Woodcliucks love old stone walls of that kind. The young chuck decided that the place for his doorway was to be on the side away irom the garden. He couldn't dig it house without getting rid oi the sand somewhere. and the sand would show. Without knowing how he knew, he did know that he might have a secret l3ilL'I( door, but he couldn't have a secret inont. door because he would have to push all the sand he was digging out on the doorstep where it would show.

He would have liked it better had there been some bushes growing along that old wall. but there were no bushes. So he selected s. place close to the wall where two big

couldn't help. She wanted to be big too. Then she thought of some- thing she could do. She took Daddy the paper to read. You're a good girl to help Daddy, dear.” Llndals face was beaming. She was so pleased and felt so proud. "Du-dee. :1: disc. ii ga dil" she ex- claimed. Now what do you think she said?

didn't dig straight down. He dug at a slant, going down and at the same time toward the old well. ll-le planned to dig under that wall. ll-le dug with his hand, or (are- ,ieet. and kicked the sand out be- lhind him as he went farther and irarther lll. Finally, he had to push .that sand back and out. He was too far in the ground to kick it out. lGraduslly the sand piled up at the

He dug down beneath the lowest stones of the wall. and then kept on digging down. You might have thought he would have been satis- iied with a short hall, or tunnel. He wzisnit. In this respect. he was like his lather. Johnny Chuck is a iamous digger, and he sometimes digs it very long hall down to his snug bedroom. That is so that if a fox should try to dig him nut. or a dog try to do that, they would be discouraged before ever they reached that snug bedroom. Somehow the young chuck knew without being told that this was the thing to do. Wlien he finally decided he was far enough away from his doorway to make it snug

"Now," thought the young chuck. "I will rest awhile."
