wD.anny's Change Of Mind

Envy is a iuulish thing Discontent is sure to bring. -Old Mother Nature.

Daitiiy a nd Nanny Meadow ' Mouse had had a 87933 BGVCMUN. ., i- especially Danny. Black Pussy the

" Cat at Farmer Brown's house had

almost caught Danny. He had come so near to catching Danny that one of his black paws had land-

' oil on Danny's tail, but hadnlt been

gt able to hold onto it.

ii Danny told Nanny all about it.

I "I'm glad," said he, ”that my tail

. is as short as it is. if I had a ' longer tail like that of Cousin Whitefoot. or a still longer tail like that of Cousin Nimbleheels, I wouldn't be here now. Black Pus- sy could have held onto a long tail. but mine is too short for him to really get hold of."

"You've changed your mind, haven't you?" squeaked Nanny.

”l-iow have I changed my mind?" said Danny.

"I've heard you wish and wish and wish that you had a long tail like that of Nimbleheels. Now you're glad you haventjt. If that isit'l changing your mind. what is?” squcaked Nanny.

Danny tried to change the sub- ject. ”I wonder if Nimbleheels Ll at-unite ycl'l" .

"Neither do I." said Danny. "He's the only member of the whole Mouse faiiiily.tliat I know of who sleeps all winter. I 311833 he sleeps even longer than Johniw Chuck. I wouldn't want to sleep like that. What fun is there in be- ing asleep? I wonder where he is this year."

Nanny got back to the subject of tails. "I wonder what Old Moth- er Nature gave him such a long tail for." she said.

tails of ours? We don't use them."

”Tehn why have you so alien

wished you had a long one?" do-

manded Nanny.

”I don't wish so any longer."

said Danny. ''I don't know what

good Nimbleheels gets from that

long tail of his. He seems to think

a lot of it. I've seen him spend a

lot of time washing it. But what

good is it? You tell me."

"I guess it is just good for

looks." squeaked Nanny, "I'm

glad mine isn't like his. It must

be awfully in the way sometimes.

I wouldn't want to have to drag

around a tail like that."

"Nor me." said Danny. "l don't see how Nimbleheels makes the

long jumps he does with that long

tail hanging out behind. No. I rea-1 lly dont see how he does it."

Of course Danny and Nanny

were judging Nimbleheels by them-

selves. That is soiiicthing one should never do. judge others by

himself. Little Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse is one of the great-

est jumpers on the Green Mead-

ows or in the Green Forest. Con- sidering his size. he is perhaps the greatest jumper excepting Tls my the Flying Squirrel. and he glides more than he jumps. What Danny and Nanny didn't know is that that long tail is what enables Nimbleheels to make those long, perfect jumps. that and his long hindlegs, true j 'ng legs. Those long legs send him into the air, but it is his long tail that bal- ances him ln the air and keeps him from turning sommersaults. Without it. Nimbleheels would nev- er know how or where he would land when he jumped.

South then tried the only phn that offered any reasonable hope: he led a low club and put in am. my's ten. When that card held. he felt a little better, but of course he did not know that the queui was going to fall, so he now made . rather desperate effort to develop a heart trick. On the lieu: lead from dummy. East won with the blank king and returned a diamond. Now South was in trouble -. he could neither establish a hurt nor izet his full quota of club trlcln, so he went down one.

South was unduly optimistic to try for a heart trick. His only substantial chance, after the club ten held was to cliash the club king. Then he could lead to the club jack. return to the diamond ace and cash dummy'a club ace. The spade ac; would be the fulfilling trick,
