Even now he had I sciired feeling whenever he thought of how fiir away the ground had looked from high up in that tree. lie was sure that never again would he be tempted to climb a tree. He dug hta toes info the soft earth and scratched just to get the feeling of it. He lay down and rolled over it seemed to him that he never wanted to be where he couldn't do that. Trees were all right for birds and for Squirrels and for some other folk but not for him. Mother Gray grinned as she watched him. Perhaps she re- memhered that she had felt just the same way when she was his age. and for the first time had Ciimhed really hiizh in a tree. "Did you learn anythiniz by climbing that tree?" she asked. "Yes'm." said the young Fox. "I learned never to do if aitnin. I learned that I belong on the ground " "If that is what you learned. you learned all wrong," replied mother. "if you live to grow tip. and I hope you will. you will find out that one of the surest ways of escaping certain enemies is to climb high up in a tree. The things that you really have to learn. are when to climb. what kind of a tree to climb. and how to hide in it when you are high up." The young Fox shook his head. "I'm never goimz to climb in tree siizain." he repeated.
