A ROBBEB OF CIIILDREN

what, seems a single simple act. Quite the reverse ml? PNVG ill

L . W -Old Mother Nature Plunger the Osprey was com- ptxiinulii that he had ml his ' ,'dmiiy. that he had too many moutiis to feed. Rattles the King- fisher asked him. how many children he had: Ind Pllmgef replied three. Rattles almost fell on his perch. You see RIQIEI and Mrs. Rattles were doin ti-.('1r best to teed twelve chil-

KPH.

"Your lucky." Cyouu-e lucky." said Rattles.

”How am I lucky? In what way am I lucky?" asked Plunger.

”You have only three mouths to feed." replied Rattles.

"That's one too many." said Plunger. "Usually we have only two, and that is enough. Two keep Mrs. Plunger and me fish- ing most of the time we're auakc."

"Listen." said Rattles. "If Mrs. Rattles and I three to we wouldn't think we had anything to do."

"It B different with you." said Plunger. "l'll venture to say that it is easier for you and Mrs. Rattles to feed your big family

Rattles.

than it is for us to feed our three." ”That's silly." declared Rat-

ties. "The very idea of such a statement that it is easier to catch fish for a lot than it is for three!"

"It may sound silly. but it is true." said Plunger mildly. "You have forgotten something."

"What have 1 forgotten?" manded Rattles.

,"You feed on little fish. Min- aows. and others that live in shallow water, and a lot to- gether-.. We Ospreys can't live u those small fish alone. We never could catch enough. And they are not where we could catch them easily anyway. we have to live on bigger fish. fish that are out in deeper water, and VH7 often are alone.. We have rot to find them near enough to the surface for u to catch them when we plunge. Andama- hlnes we have to sail over the water for a long time before we see a fish that we live any chance of catching. that H why one extra member of the family makes a lot of extra work. Then, t00- you.don't have to feed other inlks. You don't have your catch taken away from you," said Plunger.

"I'd like to see anybocb "ml trick." cried Rattles.

. Plunger paid no heed to this. '0! course. you know who that robber is." said Plunger.

JNO I don't." replied Rattles.

Well there he is. way our toward the Big Mountain. I do hope he isn't coming this way,"

declared eiuniar.

Rattles looked over towards the Big Mountain. All he could see was a speck in the sky. but he knew that speck was King Eagle. "Are you calling King Eagle a robber?" he demanded.

That's what.” retorted Plung- er. ”He is a robber of children. That's what he is, a robber of children. if he should see me taking home a fish to my child- ren, he would rob me oi it. and in that way he would rob the children. Mrs. Eagle is Just as bad. It is partly because of those two that my family is too big."

According to a recent survey, only the newspaper is read when one's mouth is full of food or when one is riding a trampcar or bus. Or as another writer puts it: News- papers are the sails under which we sail into the full day. Magn- zines on the other hand are best read after the midday meal. While

ks, like love or orgies. are mainly a nocturnal occupation.

Did you know that pen knives derived their name from shaping

the ends of quills in bye gone days? Superstitions are not always

based on ancient folk tales. To- day's modern civilization has many of them in the making.

Dr. Edward Leach, folklorist at the University of Pennsylvania. Ps., lists these peculiar current beliefs among the modern su- perstitions he has collected.

Poor Fishermen

TORONTO (CP) -Airmen "in the drink" are equipped with fisb- . ing tackle but do not make good anglers. a RA! expert told a group at and air force officers

t nations discussing pro hlems of survival at sea.

He said the Royal Navy agreed to assess food value of fish caught by airmen in the tests but "sur- vivors" sent out in- rafts around tl1e,British Isles and off Singa- pore were not able to catch en- ough for assessment to be made.

"Fishing kit is supplied miinly because of its psychological 'bene- fit to the airman." he said.

The group agreed that a ban on survivors drinking sea water should remain and all airmen should be warned to leave it a- lone. no matter how thirsty they may be.
