iA reel story or real children for very young children)

Lynne's mother cat. Whitesocks. hid her three baby kittens out in . mug little spot in the barn. The my made a soft bed. and the bales of hay around protected the iittena from any stray dog. or from crawling away themselves.

But Whitesocks wasn't happy there. It was a rather dark cor- ner. and being down behind the hates made it very dark indeed. Then she was always used to get- ting a lot of attention and she missed the children making a fuss over her. She had decided to move her family to the house. and had taken one kitten in that morning. But the mistress of the house had put her out. She had med again in the afternoon. but the children had found her when may came from school. had ;colded her, and put her and the iitten back out again.

The next days bein Saturday and Sunday the chi dren had played around the barn most of he time. She had company so she was not lonely. Then they came to sit on the hay and look down at her, talking about the kittens. so she felt very proud.

Monday morning was a different story. The rain pattered down and the cold wind blew in the open door. How she wanted a nice warm stove to sleep under! The more she thought about it. the colder she felt. With is deter- mined look on her face. she a- gain picked up the spotted kitten which was her favorite, and start- ed off for the house.

The back door was closed tight against the rain. She meowed but no one heard her. The little kitten. getting very wet and cold. meowed sadly. She picked it up

and went around to the front verandah. No luck there! She liigged the poor kitten around

to the back door again.

Just then Lynne's mother came in the driveway. She saw White- sucks and the poor, wet. cold kit- ten. “You are a very naughty rat." she scolded, "Come along hack to the barn." She picked up the kitten. and cat too. When she reached the others she put the kitten between*them. after riibbing it dry. Then she took Whitesocks and gave her a spanking. “Now stay there this time, and don't take those kit- tens out again."

The mother cat knew she was neing punished. for the same thing Mid happened twice before when the had been disobedlent. She iulked to herself. for the next

low hours. She'd get in that house yet! A car door slammed and chil-

rlren‘s voices sounded. Out she jumped, and ran out to meet them. It was the family from down the road that visited there often. The little girl picked her up. and carried her back to the car. There she patted her and talked to her while Whitesocks purred with pleasure. The little boy played. too. The woman came out. got in the car. and drove

off.

Just as she got out of the car at her home. a mile down the road she spied the cat.

“Whatever is that cat doing in

the car?" she exclaimed. "Isn't that Lynne's cat?" "Yes. it is." replied the little

girl. "We were just playing with

it

At that instant Whitesocks leap- ed from the back seat and out through the open car door. She streaked out the driveway and up the ditch of the road towards home. Cars whizted by but she oald no attention. All she could

BOB WHITE JUNIOR

Better be too soon than late Otherwise you're tempting fate. —Old Mother Nature

Parents should have no favor- ites among their children_ How- ever, it would seem that somegmis parents do. They may not mean to show it, but everybody knows it. Bob White had a big ‘family. He had fourteen children. One of these looked a wee bit more like his father than did any of the others. He was more like him in other ways also. He was called Bob White Junior.

While it seemed that day after day the young Bob Whites did no- thing but run about looking for food And having a good time gen- erally. they really were learning the important things that little folks of their kind must. learn if they would grow up. Bob white Junior was,a little bit quicker in learning than were the others. And he remembered better. He was the first to hide when father and mother gave the danger signal, He never waited to find out what the dﬂnller was. as some of the others did. He remembered at all times what he had been taught. that the thing to do was to hide first and find out later what the danger had been.

He was‘ the first to understand how to hide in plain night, which is what a smart Bob White often seems to do. He learned by watch-

did. Junior tried to do. He soon became 9. leader among his broth- ers and sisters. He really was a help to father and mother instead of the care and worry that some of the others were. He was always Wnntms to find out things. so M llwﬂys was full of questions. He

think of was getting back to her lﬁmlly. She even forgot to Wurry about the big dog that usually chased her if she left her own lane, but this time he didn't see

her. . Safe at last! Home at last} She sank down. tired out. and

gave each kitten a lovin lick.

She was quite satisfie now to stay where she belonged. She had had a bad fright. liut she had learned her lesson. The best place of all was her safe nest in the hay. and here she would stay from now on. She curled around her kittens and slept.

“Who is that. and how does he fly without moving his wings? Can we do that?" Bob White Junior wanted to know. .

"That," replied Bob White. “is Redtail the Hawk. Keep out of sight when you see him sailing overhead. No hawk is to be trust- ed, and most of them fly at times the way Redtail is flying now. Be suspicious of any bird you see sail- ing the way that fellow is doing it_ How he does it I don't know But I do know that we quail cas- not do it. If we get going fast enough we can sail a little way straight ahead just before land- ing. but that is all we can do. Don't forget to keep watching the sky, and get out of sight when you suspect a hawk is sailing ii- rouiid up above. Also. be suspic- ious of any big bird you may see

"That is mucky the (‘row and he isn't to be trusted."

"That is Black the Crow. and he isn't to be trusted. He isn't a hunter like the members of the hawk family. but he isn't to be trusted too near. Don't forget that.’ said Bob.

“I won't." replied Junior. "I won't forget. " I want to learn of every single enemy I must watch out for. and I want to know just what lo do when I do see one.”

"One thing more." said Bob White. “Be suspicious of every one you see who is big enough to hurt you_"
