There is no real excuse for quarrc-ling, Quay. rels lead to fights, and fights lead to bitter feelings that never end. There was a quarrel over in the Green Forest, and like all quay. tell. it was a silly one. Prickly P0??? the Porcupine and Paddy the Beaver were quarreliniz. Thev were quarreling over a tree.

As ou know. that pond hatll been ma e by Paddy and Mr: Paddy. To make it thry had builti I dam across I..aughiii;z Brook. i The favorite food of the Beaver folk is the bark of aspen trocsu There had been many aspen trons! growing around there. some littlnl and some big. It was because of those trees that. Paddy: and Mrs. Paddy had planned that pond right. there. You know they air water folk. and thov are not safe in from water. .80 when their food trees are growing some dist- ance from the nearest water they take the water to the trees. or as near to them as possible. They do it. by making a pond. Then thrvi ran cut sate while doing it. All the smaller aspen tm-.2 near the big aspen had been cut Tho' big aspen had been lcii. to be cut later. Prickly Porky the Porcu- pine had climbed up in that tree and had found it very much to his liking. He. too. is an cater of bark. But he rioesnl rut down his trees to get the bark Gond- ness not Even if he roiiici rut down trees he wouidnit. That would be hard work and Prickly Porky is one of those folk who dislike hard work. He believes in getting tluiizs thr- easiest way. He has no 1m'nit.iou He is quite content. I rust cat and sleep. Eating and slcrpinlz is about all that liic means to him Ii: he were a human bring he would. I suspect. be nn welfare. So Prickly Porky had been liv- ing tor some days in the ton 01 that tree. Paddy tho Beaver hadnlt. known that he was up there. One night. Paddy decided that the time had come to cut. the big aspen. He went. to work. It. was going to be a big job. bin he didn't. let. that. trouble him. Paddy is one or those who have found out. for themselves the joy .
