A Lost Appetite
By lhornton W. Burgess
Some things through pain we have to learn; Through suffering must wisdom earn.
Bobby Coon.
Bobby Coon was going home in I had temper. Yes, sir, he was doing just this. He had been very sure he was going to get a dinner of eggs. He had discover- ed where Mrs. Beauty, the Wood Duck. had her nest in a tree over near the pond of Paddy the
i Beaver deep in the Green Forest.
” His mouth had watered so that it fairly dribbled as he started to climb that tree. it was a long, long time since he had tasted an egg. He was sure now that he was going to have a feast eggs. Then he had found that he couldn't get to that nest. Prick- ly Porky the Porcupine was in the way and wonldnlt get out of it. There was no passing.
sit wasn't that Prickly Porky was going to get those eggs. He wasn't even interested in them. He doesn't eat eggs. Probably he didn't even know there were any eggs up above him in the Wood DLy:k's house though he may have guessed it.

So the little spears keep going in deeper and deeper, and unless they are gotten out will after awhile make places around them very sore. That is why all the people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows are very careful to leave Prickly Porky

As he shuffled along toward home Bobby Coon had lost his appetite completely. He didn't even think of eggs. All he thought
about was getting rid- of those
two little spears. Every now and then he stopped to try and brush away those little spears with his long-fingered little hands, or to rub them off by rubbing his face on the ground. Each time he made matters worse.
