up to his ankles in goo and he couldnt move a singly inch what w ill i do now thought flitt ill never get out of this alone and its so near the moun- lains that 1 doubt if any of my iriends wilj find me why didnt t think to tell mr sunbeam where i was going and hard is he pulled and tug ged he just couldnt get free he had to be so careful not to let his wings get stuck too poor flitt he wars getting so urod that he could hardly hold his feelers up he had visions of starving to death high up in his gooey prison his ticed head drooped lower and lower toward the sticky puddle of balsam when faintly he heard the chatter of many little voices in the distance soon he heard the whirr of man wing flitt could nive cried for joy for lie know that his friends were on the way lie felt sure that they would holp him ome way- bin he couldnt see how carefully his friends lauded about tmin mr sunbeam stopped on a branch right beside him and tried fo cheer him up dont worry flitt well sooji have you free he aid i dont know how you can get my feet out of this said flitt looking down at his feet buried in balsam never fear weve got a plan said mr sunbeam and just then mrs kobin redbreast landed on tho branch now just vatch us said tiny voices which seemed to come from mrs redbreasts back for it certainly wasnt mrs- redbreasts voice would you believe it as sure as you are you there was the whole lamily of wood ants riding on the back of the- birds who hod come to help with flitts rescue a11 ready men said mr sun beam and in the neatest order wood anib marched single file the tree trunk to a dry bra near flitt without more ado they started to gnaw out bits of wood as each ant got a piece chewed loose lie brought it to the edge of the sticky puddle and plac ed it carefully ahead of the last piece in this way they made a solid dry little sidewalk right out to flitt my how those litte wood ants worked it wasnt long before there was not only a sidewalk to flitt but a clean dry platform all around htm now mr sunbeam who had watched the operations very close ly came out to fliti and explained to him what to do to get free then rith a tremendous burst of energy mr sunbeam shone his shinest eown on flitts feet and the sticky balsam got softer and softer with mr sunbeams warmth cjarefuily flitt lifted one foot up and as soon as it was free the ruts pushed more little bitsof dry wood under it so that it wouldnt get stuck again when all of flitts feel had been set free and he whs- landing on the wood ants side walk a mighty cheer went up for the little people of the green for est had been watching breathlessly it took only u matter of minutes to clean the rest of the soft balsam off flitts feet and flitt was able to fly out into the sunshine again how proud the little people were to hove been able to help their dear friend flitt who spent most fhis life helping them it wasnt long before flitt was uack in his i wn home very tired but very happy thathe had
