He'll better live who will arrange Each day to have a. little change. —Old Mother Nature.

There can always be too much of s. good thing, however good it may be. A change now and then is the spice of life. Touslehead, the young kingfisher was just finding this out.

It was good eating.

All his short. life Touslehead had lived on fish. He had been fed on fish when he was a baby in the nest. The first thing he had learn- ed when first out in the Great World. was where to look for fish and how to catch them. He liked fish. He had never thought of trying anything else until a young muskrat had been watched open- ing and eating clams. He had left one open, but uneaten, and Tousle- head had tasted it. It was good. It was something like fish, but it wasn't fish.

Touslchead began to wonder if there were other good things to eat. He saw that same young musk- rat catch and eat crawflsh. The first chance he had Touslehead tried a crawfish, andthat wasgood.

“I don't think I‘li wait to see the kittens today." said Laurie nervously. “The mother cat seems

to be cross. I'll be like Frisky. I'll wait until another time to see them.“ And off he went.

He saw a small frog caught and swallowed by Longless the Heron- He knew that Longlegs was an ester of fish. for he had often seen him fishing. if he also liked frogs, why frogs must be flood to eat. He caught is small one, and swallowed it. It was good.

Now up until that time, the young kingfisher had never once thought of looking for anything to eat anywhere but along the water or in it. Then one day as he was flying over land to a cer- taln small pond where he some- times went fishing, he saw a grass- hopper. Somethlng prompted him to catch that gramhopper. It wasn't difficult to catch. He hov- ered over the grass just above it for an instant, then picked it up. It was good eating. It really was. He began to look for grasshoppers. Everytime he flew over to that little pond, and back to the Big River. he watched for grasshop- pers. Once he saw one that was all black. That was Just as good as the others. Of course it wasn't a grassiiopper, but a cricket.

The change in his bill of fare was doing him good. Fish tasted all the better for having a few grasshoppers or a erawfish, or a frog in between. Then he made another discovery.

Having found out that a change of food was good, he began watch- ing his feathered neighbors to see

To him these things looked like funny food. Near where Touslehead was living, were two or three small trees that early in the spring had been covered with white blossoms. now in place of those blossoms were little red berries. He‘ prob- ably wouldn't have noticed those red berries had It not been for other feathered folk. It seemed as if those little trees were filled with feathered folk all day. long. He watched to see what they were doing. They were picking and eating those berries. It made him curious. He tasted one. He liked ii- Hc tried another. and another After that he came back every day as long as those berries lasted. One day Farmer Brown's Bo)’ saw him. “I never knew before that kingflshers eat berries.” said Farmer Brown's Boy.
