A TALE OF TWO TAILS l"t)t' nothing is there real excuse, Unlrss it somehow is of use.

-Old Mother Nature

Young glaptail. one of Paddy lthe Bc:n'ei"s children. and young :Pl'lCl(l6S whose mother was Mrs.

Prickly Porky the Porcupine. had , been comparing tails. Each thought! the others tail funny.

yEach could see nothing funny in- ibout his own tail. Each wondered

of what possible use the ot.ht-rts itail could be Each insisted with- out ii:-ally qu.it-reling that his

'own tail tint only was not futiny, but was so useful that he wouldn't know how to get along witltotit it. 1 Slaptail had been sitttitg up at the foot of a tree he was start-

piit; to cut down with his great ygmittiiig teeth. When he sat tip ithat way his brand thick fiat tail made a wonderful brace. That lnas one use for it. When he slid into the water and swam, his tail nas a sort of rudder, aiding him in turning. In a way, he

steered himself with it. That. was another use.

The two couldn't agree on tails. They still continued to think each others tall funny, and of no real use. Then on the very same day, each learned the most important use of the others tail, and to respect it. The two tails were no longer funny.

It happened this way: The young beaver was floating on the water close to shore. His mother. ,Mrs, Paddy, was out near the mid- ole of the pond. The young por- cupine was on at mmy old log close to the shore. Mother Porky was high up in 3, tree. She was not paying any attention to Prickles. She felt that he was big enough now to look out for him- self.

It wu early evening. The black shadows were creeping out from among the trees across the little pond, Someone else was creeping out from among the trees, and keeping in the midst of the black shadows. It was Tuffy the Lynx.

The young beaver was slowly drift-irig closer in the shore. In fact, he was making ready to

come ashore to get some bark for supper. It. was very still there a-

round the poud. Suddenly that stillness was broken by a lotid noise. It was sudden and sharp,

like the noise of a gun. And out in the pond where Mrs. Paddy was. there was the added sound of .a sudden plunize. and a lot of watt-r shot lllitlt in the air. The linstant he heard it. Slaptail turn-

ed, plunged. and slapped the water

with his tail. It was all very star- tling.

Tufty the Lynx snarled. He had ihad his (-3 as on that young bea- ter, and it was to try to catch him that he was sneaking along in the black shadows. Mrs. Paddy, watching from out in the water, had seen him. She had used her big flat tail to give the alarm It everyone

was a warning to

The young porcupine was on n mossy old log close to the shore. jm.?.m?.:..s..

within hearing that there was danger in the neighborhood.

It had startled the young por- cupine. but vaguely he understood what it meant. He dropped off the mossy old log. poked his head under the edge of it, and began to slap his tail back and forth. Tufty came over to him and snarl- ed an uglier snarl than before, but he was very careful to keep away from that tail. He knew all about those pointed, painful lit- tle spears called quills with which that tail was covered. The young beaver put his head out of water. and looked over to see what had happened to Prickles. He saw what he was doing with that tall, and it no longer seemed funny. And that is the tale of two tails.
