':."TlrKIils such a hot day. I wish WI Quid go to the shore." sighed Slllllag ' "Well. dear. I have a surprise for you.” smiled Mrs. Dale. "We are going to.the shore this after- noon. You and David and I are

Vtillllf with the folks next door.

Won't 'that be lovely?"

"Wonderful!" exclaimed Susan. her face glowing with pleasure. "We can go in the water and splash and have fun. I must take my sand pail and shovel. Can we eat a lunch at the shore? oVill David be able to wear his bathing suit?"

"Hold on. Susan. not so fast! Youlre tongue is getting ahead of your thoughts. Yes to all your questions. Now clean yourself up and put on your sun suit while I get David washed and dressed. We'll be leaving quite soon, so hurry." warned her mother.

This was one time Susan did not have to be urged. She just flew around getting ready. She took her pail and shovel, then remembered her big pink and white beach ball. She must take that too. "I'll take Davidls truck so he can play in the sand while I'm in swimming.” she said. "You see. he's just three. and he'll like- ly be afraid of the water. 1'11 be in it. so he can play in the sand by himself."

It seemed to the eager ,children that it was taking a very ions (ms to get to the beach. but it bully took only half an hour.

"I see the swings now! There's ihs water! See it, David. Look at all the cars! There are so many people too." cried Susan in great excitement.

"There'll be room for all of us," said Mrs. Dale. "Now out we go. Lnd down to the shore.” The children raced ahead, their feet linking in the hot sandi while Mrs. Dale followed with her friends.

The wide blue waters stretched as far as one could see. Susan stood and looked. "If I could get In a. boat and sail right out Htere. I could touch the sky, couldn't I mommy?" she asked, running back to in mother.

"No. it would stl be as far away as ever." answered her mother. "It seems to touch the water. but it really doesn't. Now run down to the shore."

Along the white sandy beach people were gathered here and there. some were swimming in :he roped-off pool. children dug holes in the wet sand along the water's edge; grown-ups stretched out on the sand to get a tan. while some bigger boys climbed the high dunes. which are real- ly very high banks of sand, then came sliding down. What fun they Vere having!

Wise is he and hard to beat. who knows exactly what to eat. -Johnny Chunk.

Johnny Chuck was father, and Polly Chuck was mother of eight children. You will agree that eight children, all of one same age, is a big family to watch over and care for and worry about. Any- way. Polly Chuck was' finding it. so. she did all the worrying. The only worrying that Johnny Chuck did concerned himself. He was quite satisfied to leave wholly to Polly Chuck the care of the eight worries, as she called them. All he did was to whistle a signal whenever he saw danger near. That helped a little, but only 1. little.

"I guess." asld ltnnty to himself, "that most green thing: are good to eat."

New little chucks, like most other little folks in fur, have to learn many things for themselves. And they have to learn fast if they would live to grow up. one of those eight little chucks was named Ruirty. That was because he was only half the size of his brothers and sisters. Being so much smaller

er, than hesitated. She watched how it ran in toward her in a tiny white-edged wave, then seemed to draw back again.

"Come on. run in and wet your feet." urged Mrs. Dale. "Look at David. He is weta all over al- ready, for he's been sitting down at the edge" in the water."

Susan held tightly to her moth- er's hand. as she walked ginger- ly in the wet sand. She stepped back as' the water lapped at her feet.

"Oh Mommy, the sand is slid- ing away from under me. I'm go- ing to fall in a hole." she scream- ed and ran crying toward the bank.

"Come back. Susan. don't be so silly." called her mother. "Come along with me and watch. See now! that sand is just mov- ing a bit. The little grains are running after the water. and then rolling back in again. Let's walk along the edge and look for sea shells. I'm lure we can find some."

Susan began to look for the shells. At first she shrank back as the water touched her feet. but soon she became so interest-

than the others he was having I hard time to get enough to eat. The others simply crowded him away from the best food. What he got was mostly what was left after the greedy 'others had stuffed themselves. and they did "stuff themselves. Most of the time when they were not sleeping, they were eating. It seemed as if the more they ate, the faster they grow. Poor little Runty didn't seem to grow at all. It was only when mother in- terfered that he ever really had a chance to stuff himself after the manner of his brothers and sisters.

Now thoigh Runty was the smal- lest of that big family, he was real-

white snail shells that she lor- got her fear.

"Look, Mommy! the water is almost up to my knees. I forgot all about it. It feels soft and cool."

"Of course it does. Now weren't you foolish to be afraid? Look at all the fun you would have miss- ed." said her mother.

"Yes." smiled Susan happily. "Now I've found out that the beach is a wonderful play place after all." r

could find some now might. be better food than the things that he waagrtow, eating.

"1 shell." said ltunty to liliriseli, "that most green things are good to eat. If they taste good, they must be good. But there must be other kinds of food that are Just as good to eat. if only I can find them."

so minty began sampling every- thlnc he found that looked as If it could be eaten. He soon found out that some things were not good at all. The best thing he found was sweet clover, and that was what his brothers and sisters were living on mostly. It grow in little patohos. hero and there. It was from. those patohes that he was crowded away because he was so much smaller. What if he could find some other food that would be better still. that would make him grow mm. and give him more strength.

"I'll Just keep my eyes open. and '

try everything I find." thought nunty. and he did just that.
