CHAPTER XI,
V.' The Mail-Box. . , '
Oimbing air . oak at the cross
roads one day,. not far from Farmer
Green's house Sandy Chipmunk
discovered a queer box, nailed to the
trunk of ,the ' tree. Much , as "heJ
wanted to, hecoutdn't look inside
the box, because, its lid was closed.
That1 was enough forSaifwfe;
And since Sandy was afraid .the box
might be some sort of trap, he didn't
dare go near it and poke at the lid.
Later that day Sandy told Frisky
Squirrel, about the strange box. And
Frisky told Fatty Coon. And
Fatty t tpld somebody -else.
l So the Hews traveled, until at last
it rettelie'd the sharp1 ears of old Mr
Crow. - v ,:;:;V:!; u:; '
. By theime Mr. Crow heard the
story it ikd grown amazingly. And
it went .something like this: Farmer
Green had bought a new trap in the
village. And h4 had nailed Tt dift a
tree to catchaAlxorts of 1 animals
and birds. And after he had caught
all the -forest-folk in Pleasant VaJ
ley he intended to take the trap to
Swift River and set it for fish and
eels and turtles.
When Mr. Crow heard kht news
W haw-halwed loudly. , i , -"What
are Vou lauehine abdut?"
Lffasper Jay asked him. (It was Jas
per who repeated the story to Mo
Crow.)' "You wouldn't think it
-was such a joke if you were ciught
in the trap. ' . . "
"Trap!" Mr. . Crow sneered."
"That's no trap. That's what's
called a mail-box. Every day a man
with letters and newspapers drives
over here, from the village. And
he stops at the cross-roads and
leaves . something in the box of
Farmer Green." ,
js soon as ne neara xnat, jasper
jay, new, away 10 leu every oouy
about the mail-box. And at last
Sandy Chipmunk heard the story.
But by the time it reached his ears
after it hall been told- by one per
son to another almost forty times
the story was somewhat different
from what it had been when 'Mr.
Crow first told it to Jasper . Jay.
Thisi is what Sandy, heard: The
thing on the tree was a mail-box.
Every day a man drove from .the
village in a wagon drawn by "twelve
horses; He had a load of letters as
big as six haystacks. And he left
a fiandful of letters in that bdx.
because he wanted to get rid of
them so he could go back to the
village for more. And anyone could
take a letter if it happened to be
for him. -
It was Frisky Squirrel who . told
the story to Sandy. Of course, after
so much telling it had changed a
good deal. But Sandy Chipmunk
didn't know that And he hurried
to the cross-roads at once, to watch
for the man driving the twelve
horses.
. When he reached the oak, where
the box was, Sandy climbed the
tree and perched himself on a limS
and waited. He had not 6at there
long before he saw a man drive up
the , road. Sandy Chipmunk -avas
surprised when the man stopped
beneath the tree .and dropped some
letters and newspapers into the box.
He was" surprised because the man
drove only one horse, instead of
twelve. And the. man had only a
single bag of mail in his wagon,
instead of a great heap as big as
six haystacks. , ' :
Sandy Chipmunk was somewhat
disappointed. But he was glad of
one thing: The man left the lid of
thebox opeflT And as soon as he
had driven on again, Sandy i crept
down the tree and crawled' right
inside the mail-box. - -
Though' he was not expecting a
letter from anybody, he thought it
would be just as well to (look and
see if the man had left one for him.
Now, Sandy , had tieVer learned to
read. And you might think it
would, do him no good at all to
look at the envelopes: But he soon
came upon one which' he was sure
was his. And the reason for that
was that he had found an envelope
with the picture of a chipmunk in
one corner of it! ; . . ,
That was enough for Sandy.
"I'm rfad I camel" he said to

himself. 1'Here's a letter for me!
And how surprised everybody will
be!" , 4. i: - .
So he took the letter in his mouth
and started down the tree. , ,
(The very first person he surprised
was Farmer Green himself. He
had walked to the cross-roads from
his house. And he had almost
reached th Oak when he saw. Sandy
Chipmunk spring "from the tree to
the stone wall, with a letter in his
mouth and scamper away. ,
Farmer Green ran ' after Sandy.
And hev threw stones at him. . But
Sandy Chipmunk ran so fast that
Farmer Green ' soon lost sight of
him.. ' ' " " : -"
"I'd like to know what was in
that , letter," . Parmer -Green said,
when he told his family what had
happened. "I'll have to warn the
letter-carrier to be sure ' to close
the mail-box after this, 'for I can't
have any more of my letters
stolen." '' 'j' i 'V ' r .
Johnnie Green couldn't ' fcelp
laughing, when he heard his father
jtell about the chipmunk running
away with a letter, in his mouth. ;
But Farmer Green didn't seem to
see anything.vto laugh at. '
"JL only hope' he saidYthe letter-was
nothing of importance."
