He had come so near to catching Danny that one of his black paws had land- ' oil on Danny's tail, but hadnlt been gt able to hold onto it. ii Danny told Nanny all about it. I "I'm glad," said he, ”that my tail . is as short as it is. if I had a ' longer tail like that of Cousin Whitefoot. or a still longer tail like that of Cousin Nimbleheels, I wouldn't be here now. Black Pus- sy could have held onto a long tail. but mine is too short for him to really get hold of." "You've changed your mind, haven't you?" squeaked Nanny. ”l-iow have I changed my mind?" said Danny. "I've heard you wish and wish and wish that you had a long tail like that of Nimbleheels. Now you're glad you haventjt. If that isit'l changing your mind. what is?” squcaked Nanny. Danny tried to change the sub- ject. ”I wonder if Nimbleheels Ll at-unite ycl'l" .

''I don't know what good Nimbleheels gets from that long tail of his. He seems to think a lot of it. I've seen him spend a lot of time washing it. But what good is it? You tell me." "I guess it is just good for looks." squeaked Nanny, "I'm glad mine isn't like his. It must be awfully in the way sometimes. I wouldn't want to have to drag around a tail like that." "Nor me." said Danny. "l don't see how Nimbleheels makes the long jumps he does with that long tail hanging out behind. No. I rea-1 lly dont see how he does it." Of course Danny and Nanny were judging Nimbleheels by them- selves. That is soiiicthing one should never do. judge others by himself. Little Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse is one of the great- est jumpers on the Green Mead- ows or in the Green Forest. Con- sidering his size. he is perhaps the greatest jumper excepting Tls my the Flying Squirrel. and he glides more than he jumps. What Danny and Nanny didn't know is that that long tail is what enables Nimbleheels to make those long, perfect jumps. that and his long hindlegs, true j 'ng legs. Those long legs send him into the air, but it is his long tail that bal- ances him ln the air and keeps him from turning sommersaults. Without it. Nimbleheels would nev- er know how or where he would land when he jumped. CARTOONISTS HAT IN RING NEW CITY, N.
