Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
To laugh at one's aalf la a hard thing
And those who ao lauich ar» distressingly
few. —Old Mother Nature.
Peter Rabbit Laughs at Himself and
I/earns Things.
Peter Rabbit can see a Joke even
when It Is on himself. What is bet
ter, he can laugh at himself. Thia
is something a lot of people cannot
do. It came over Peter all in a flash
that it was his own ignorance that
had given Spotty the Turtle a chance
to play such a Joke on him. When
Spotty had'said that he was going
to get a lunch Peter had asked If he
might go along, and Spotty had told
him that he might. Then Spotty
had dived into the water and disap
peared. Of course. Peter couldn t
follow him and, of course Spotty had
known that.
Suddenly Peter burst out laughing.
"Ha, ha. ha! Ho, ho, ho! He. he, he!"
laughed Peter.
Spotty kept his face straight, but
his eyes twinkled. “What are you
laughing at?" he demanded.
"At myself,” replied Peter. “Of
course you have been laughing down
inside ever since I asked to go along
to lunch with you. I don’t blame you
a bit. It was a good Joke on mo.
Now tell me, Spotty, do you get all
your food in the water?"
"Every bit of It,” replied Spotty.
"Don’t you ever get a bite when
you are out on the bank?" Peter
asked.
"Not a bite,” replied Spott. "You
see it wouldn't do me any good if I
did ”
Peter pricked up his ears and
looked surprised. “Why wouldn't it?”
he demanded.
"Because I couldn’t swallow it," re
plied Spotty.
"You couldn’t swallow what?" cried
Peter.
"I couldn’t swallow It," repeated
Spotty.
“Do you mean that If you got a
mouthful of food on the bank you
couldn’t swallow It?" persisted Peter.
“That is Just what I mean,” re
plied Spotty.
"But why not?" persisted Peter.
’’That's something I cannot answer
because I don’t know," replied Spot
ty. "You'll have to a^k Old Moth'*
Nature. All I know .s that 1 cannot
swallow unless I have my head under
water. If I couldn't get Into the
water I would starve to death."
Peter suddenly remembered Snap
per the Snapping Turtle, the big.
fierce, cousin of Spotty, and how he
“Don't you ever get a bite when you
are out on the bank?” Peter asked.
had heard the same thing about
Snapper. He remembered that when
he had first heard it he hadn't be
lieved it. It was hard to believe
now', but he felt right in his bones
that Spotty was telling the truth.
"What do you eat, anyhow?” Pe
ter asked.
“Whatever I can get,” replied Spot
ty. “Tadpoles are very good eat
ing, and so are young fish. Then
down on the bottom of the Smiling
Pool there are insects which are very
tasty. Also there are water plants
by way of variety. It was some of
these that I had for lunch just now.
If you had come along. Peter, you
might have tried them, too.” Spotty's
eyes twinkled.
Peter laughed. “I'll take your word
for it that they ware good,” said he.
"Now I understand why it is I never
have seen you eat. My. it does seem
funny to think of having to keep
one's head under water in order to
swallow.”

Finds a Tempting Bit.”
