Laurie was spending the after- noon visiting hisicousin, Lynne. They had gone picking buttercups. and were delighted to find so many. But the sun was hot. so they decided that the next thing to do was to stt on a rug in the shade of the rowan tree.

"Just wait till I get my toys." said Lynne, running into the house and up to her room. In a few minutes she returned. carry-

"What is this?" asked Laurie. reaching out for it.

”'I'hat'.! my elesant." l'Cpll('d Lynne. for she could not say I-lephant' very clearrly

"He is almost as big as you are." exclaimed Laurie "I never saw an elephant that looked lll(O this. He is made like my Panda "

"Yes. I konw, but ll. an clcsont " argued Lynne. ”Soe. his niiS(' is a long trunk like a ical r-lesant '

"Yes, that is the nay has made.” explained Lynne.

"Why did you put pink socks. on his feet?" inquired Laurie "They dont come off.” He had already tried that out to son foi- himself.

Lynne giggled tHis lnul not all full of holes and tho stuffing started to fall out. Mommy lIltVK a pair of my pink socks that neit- too small for me. and stuffed them. Then she sewed them on. snd that made new feet for him."

”IIm glad my foot rtunii unai- wut like that. for I wont bai'ofnii:- ed all day yestcrdav." lmighcd Laurie. "Wouldn't I look liinny if Mommy had to sew my blue socks to my legs."

"Oh, look: his eyes move'” he exclaimed.

You never know what may be

Ol' Miatah Buzzard and Mrs. Buzzard are lazy lolk. They spend most of their time sailing around high in the sky or perched on some "dead tree or other place

with nothing to interfere. It was nesting time with most of the

.teziihei'ed folk. Most of them had

built, or were building new nesu. and it was a lot of work. A few liad made over old nests of the year before.

"What people want to work like that for ah don't know," said 01' Mistah Buzzard.

”It is doing a lot of work for

lnoining, if you ask me," said Mrs.

Buzzard.

"Ah suppose, mah dear, yol will find a place to lay your eggs with- out going to the work of making a nest tor them," said 01' Mr.

....ii'ti.

Buzzard nodded. ”0t ivourse." said she. "Ah done been looking wound some already. Suppose you join me and weuns look around some mo'f

01' Mistah Bu7.4ai'd shook his hrad. He was too lazy. Yes, sir. he Was too lazy to go looking

lnround. and he didn't care who

knew it. You see he isn't ashamed of being lazy. So it was that Mrs. Burzard continued to look around by hri-self. She wasn't looking for a pliice to build a nest. She was looking for a place where she mizht feel that a couple of eggs uoulil be safe from any egg-hunters that might be around, and where the young birds that would come front those eggs would be fairly safe from hungry hunters.

She found a big hollow stump. She tried it to see if she could sit in it comfortably. She told 01' Mistah Buzzard about it later. "It

cried. ”ma. ma. ma. ma."

Laurie laughed. "Your baby did not want to be wakened. She's crying. I think you had better put her to sleep again."

Just them Laurieis mother came up behind them.” Who's talking of going to sleep?" she asked.

"My dolly is crying because she is sleepy." explained Lynne.

"What have you got, Laurie?" his mother asked.

"This is Lynne's pink and whitc elephant. He's so big, I can hardly lift him," and he griintod as ho stood up to show how heavy the toy was.

"That is some toy. Where do you leave him at night, Lynne?" she asked.

"Oh. I always sleep with him. I put my dolly at the back then the clcsant next. then I get in,” she explained.

”I don't see where there is any room for you." teased Mrs. Page "Your bod is quite narrow. and he looks pretty wide to me. I guess it is just as well that you are so little. or you would have to sleep under the bed."

As she walked away the two youngsters looked at each other and broke into shouts of laughter. each still holding the toys.

fits me perfectly, but it is rather deep and a little hard to get out of," said she. "Ah'm going to look around some mo'."

Her looking around was done from the air. She flew low over the tree-tops. watching below care- fully. She discovered a big hollow log on the ground. A big, tree had fallen there long. long ago, and now the great trunk was hol- low. She lighted on the ground and looked that old trunk all over. She went in. She could go in quite a distance. The rotted wood in there would make a comfor- table bed for the babies later on. She was quite taken with that old log. She kept going back to look at it.

She had about made up her mind that this should be the home for her babies-to-be. Then one morning as she was looking down from high above she saw Reddy Fox poke his head in that hollow log. He was looking for mice, but she didn't. know that. But she did know that that hol- low log would not suit her at all now. Neither eggs nor babies would be safe there. So, once more, she began looking around.

In ii certain place there was a jumble of rocks. she lighted on the top of the big pile. There were sheltered places here and there between the big stones. one of these might do .She almost decid- ed that one would do. Of course, when those eggs were laid. she would have to sit on them. She tried squatting down in this par- ticular Tiollow. It wasn't as com- fortable as she hoped it would be. so she continued to look around,

Not far away was a ledge of rock. She lighted on it. She looked it all over. There was a small rocky shelf. and opening from it, 3 small
