A flood is a dreadful thing. it titics drentltul things. While it lasts there is little that can be doiie to keep it from doing dread- lllI things. The snow in the Green I-'itl('Sl and back on the hills and the Great Mountain had melted too fast. It had melted" faster than the brooks could carry it down to the Great River. or the int: River could carry it away (mun to the Great Ocean. So there had been a flood.

went to work. How they did work. At first it seemed quite useless to try to fill that hole in the dam. Sticks w'ere washed away almost as fast as they were brought. it was discouraging. Many folks in their place would have given up. but not those Beavers.

At long last they had help. Jack Frost helped them. He came in the night and stopped the melt- ing of thersnow. Of course the water did not come rushing down. so fast then. it gave those work- ers a better chance. and they made the most of it. By the time South Wind return- ed to take the place of Jack Frost. and helped to melt the remaining snow. the dam at Pad- dy's pond was as good as ever.

They were sitting on the dam eating the bark from those sticks.

Now the two young Beavers had lost their home. The flood had swept away their dam, andl their house. and their food pile. They were homeless.

”Would you mind if we stay- ed here for awhile?" asked one.

”Of course not." replied Paddy. "This pond is plenty big enough for two houses. so why not build a house for yourselves"! You can stay with us until it is built.”
