Ii you had really looked at it you would have seen that bark is only the tough outer bark. It is the inner bark that is good eating.

Yll be glad when there is plenty oi green iood and I don't have to depend on bark. I'm not like you, living wholly on bark. Danny Meadow Mouse sometimes is a. tree killer too." _; "What do you mean. Peter Rab- wbit. by ma living wholly on bark‘! ‘I eat a lot o1 green plants when tliere are any to eat," grumbled Prickly Porky. I "You do!" exclaimed Peter. "I 1didn't know that." i "And what is this about Danny Meadow Mouse being a. tree killer Itool” granted the prickly "one. “You kill trees by taking the bark all the way around the trunks. don't you!" replied Peter. i "I don't mean to, but once in a {while I do," Prickly Porky admit- i ted. "So does Danny Meadow Mouse when there is a lot oi snow and he has to eat bark, only he kills Iyoung trees, small trees, while you kill big ones. But then you are big ;and he is small, It ls queer how just eating a little bark all the way around a tree kills it." "I think it is too bad to kill trees that way," said Peter. Taking bark from completely around a. tree is called girdling it, but Peter didn't know that. Prickly Porky‘s dull eyes held a. spark oi mischief as he looked down at Peter. "Your big cousin, Jumper the Hare, who lives over here in the Green Forest, is a bark eater, and he probably has killed more trees than I have, small ones, but trees just the same. You are much like your cousin, Peter Rab- bit. l-Iow many trees have You kfiled?" mired the prickly one. “I — I -" began Peter and stopped. He had been inst about to say that he never had killed any trees when he remembered some- thing he had almost forgotten. One very hard winter he had eaten the bark irom around the trunks oi two 0r three young apple trees in Farmer Brown's ,orchard. Those trees had died. He hadn't thought anything about it at the time. It hadn't happened again because ever since all the young apple trees had been protected by wire netting irom the ground up. higher than Peter could reach. "Vfhat were you going to say?" asked Prickly Porky. "M9111 You tired oi bark? I am," said Peter. ---______.____ PEllflllltED QUEEN Catherine de Medici ls credited with the establishment oi the French perfume industry in Grease. By AL CAP? CV» ULTRA - RLOTTETOWN . .
