| THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES , MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1930 d LE d e 4 ho fi Ay Quack, * Mrs, Quack the Mallard Duck sat in her nest In the little swamp at the of the Smiling Pool, It was a y comfortable nest, lined with the ft feathers from her own breast, nder hier were ten greenish-white we, Of course, she thought the "Were the most beautiful eggs in the Great World, She was sure that 'there were no other eggs to compare with them anywhere, She dreamed about them as she sat there, But with all hee dreaming Mrs; ack never for an fnstant failed to pel guard, Perhaps you think she had an easy job sitting there with nothing to do day after day, That is what Pater Ra bit thought. Peter used to visit her, every once in 8 while, Peter is himself inclined to be somewhat lazy, He told little Mrs, Peter about Mrs, Quack's nest d how Mrs, Quack was sitting there, "1 don't know oliany one who has an easier time than Mrs, Quack, said Peter, "She has nothing at all to do but sit there, She certainly hat it as easy ap any one I know of, Fa mer Brown's Boy knows that she and Mr, Quack are around somewhere and #0 he puts corn over fn the Smil- ing Pool. All Mrs, Quack has to do is to get a good meal of corn whey» ever 5 wants it." ; "That's sll right, Peter," said tittle Mrs, Peter, "but 1 don't believe she has such an easy time of it, She must get very, very tired of just sits ting lh doing nothing, And then she' must be anxious all the time, yiAnxious!" exclaimed Peter, "Anx- fous! Why should she be anxious?" "Well, 1 know I would he in her place," declared little Mrs, Peter. "Suppose some enemy comes along he's either got to take a cha hat that enemy will not find her or she's got to leave those precio eggs of hers, No, sir, Mis. uncle isn't ing any casy time of it, i Mes. Peter was quite right, Mrs. Quack was not having an easy time of it, - She knew that that nest was well Hidden, but 'she also knew that sharp eyes and keen nosés were constantly visRing that little swam and she must always be on guard Once Bobby Coon had passed and it wasn't until he was.over at the Smil- ing Pool Hunting for frogs that Mrs, Quack dared draw along breath. The very next night she heard fight foots steps. They were very light, indeed, You and 1 wouldn't have heard them, but Mrs, Quack heard and she knew 'whose footsteps they were, "Oh, dear, what shall T.de?" sald rs, Quack to herself, "What shall dot" Shall I slip away and leave these ¢ r sha ake a Shase a stay right here? I'm glad its 'perfectly still, 1 am glad that Ee a AAA PHONE 32 THOMPSON'S 40" Simbos St. §, «= We Deliver "Oh, dear! What shall 1 do?" said Mrs, Quack 'to herself, none of the Merry Little Breezes are dancing arpund, Tf they were, Reddy Fox might' get my scent." She drew all her feathers down very tightly and kept perfectly still, Those footsteps came nearer and nearer, They Mopped right beside fier nest, Perhaps you can guess how Mrs, Quack felt. then, She cou) have reached out and pulled the tall of Reddy Fox, But she knew she was giving off no seent and so his wonderful nose would not find her, unless_he should happen to' poke his head In under the skunk cabbage leaves, Those skunk cabbage leaves were helping to hide her in more ways than one, You kibw they have # scent very like the scent that Jim- my Skunk carries, That is why the plant is called the skunk cabbage, So even if there had been just a little faint odor of Duck, the stronger odor of the skunk cabbage would have killed it, For perhaps a minute Redd stood still there beside Mrs. Quack, He was looking and listening.
