the top of a tall tree near the edge of Paddy the Beaver's Pond. I'hat pond is quite tar in the Green Forest, almost to the foot )1 the Great Mountain. Paddy and lVirs..Paddy made it them- selves. It really is their very own pond. But they have so many visitors day and night that some- times they feel as if it is every- Jody's pond instead of their own.

Prickly Porky had been one of those visitors. He had dined on lily-pads growing in the water. They are the leaves of water lilies which we call pond lilies. You know it is on a great big lily-pad that Grandfather Frog delights to sit and watch for foolish green ilies. Prickly Porky is very fond of those leaves tor a change from

He doesn't like to travel any more than in 11.23 to. I siipposc some folks would call him lazy. He seems to live for just two things, to eat and sleep. To have

all he can eat with no real trouble in getting it. and to sleep when- ever he fxels like ii. is Prickly Porky's idea of real happiness. He doesn't look happy. It you should meet him you probably would think him a very grumpy sort of person. He grunts and whines and complains. But that is a part of his happiness, too. Perhaps you know some folks who are never so happy as when they are com- plaining.

After eating all he could of these lily-pads Prickly Porky liea'le'l for the nearest tree. When he takes a nap he likes to take it up in a tree. The nearest tree was :1 big aspen. He never had climbed it before. He found it very much to his liking. There was a certain crotch 'way high that Old Mother Nature must have grown especially for him to take a. nap in. It just fit- ted him. Perhaps I should say he just fitted it. Anyway it was one or the most comfortable places he had ever napped in. He had :1 long nap. That was because he had a big dinner. It always is wise to take a nap after a hearty meal. Mother Nature's children know this and many or them do
