Hungry folk who have no food stored away and who have not had really enough to ea t- for days must get out to search for something to chase the gnawing pains from empty stomachs and to make the heat which will keep them from freezing to death So it was that gloomy and cold as the day was there were both feathered and furred folk abroad hunting hunting hunting for food Reddy Fox and Mrs Reddy were among these Old Man Coyote was another Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel were both out and about Happy Jack to dig out some of the nuts and acorns he had burled and which were now deep down in the snow Chatterer could get at his supplies with less work for he had more than one well filled storehouse Thunderer the Grouse and Mrs Grouse were budding That is they were living on the winter leaf- - buds of the trees Peter Rabbit over in the dear Old Briar patch was living largely on bark and twigs of bushes and finding it a slim living Of course Mrs Peter wras doing likewise Blacky the Crow was finding just about enough to keep himself alive and traveled far and looked long to find that He was regretting that he had not been wise enough to move a little way south and had about decided that unless he should have some extra good luck that day he would move on Sammy Jay Downy the Wood- - Blacky the Crow was finding just about enough to keep him alive pecker Tommy Tit the Chickadee Yank Yank the Nuthatch Dotty the Tree Sparrow Linnet the Purple Flrieh and Slatey the Junco would not have been in low spirits despite the gloom of the day but for the fact that Butcher the Shrike had been discovered hanging about near the feeding-shelvthat Farmer Brown’ Boy kept supplied 'with food especially for them and they were afraid of Butcher even Sammy Jay despite the fact that he was if anything a little bigger than Butcher Now and then one of them dashed to a shelf and hastily snatched a seed or peanut but' there was no happiness there Early in the afternoon snow began to fall and soon it was falling so thickly and was driven along in such stinging clouds by rough Brother North Wind that one by one all the little people sought shelter They simply couldn’t face that storm Hungry as some of them' were there was no use in trying to find food in such weather and they crept into such shelters as they could find and shivered and wondered when they ever again would have enough to eat A few there were who didn’t mind the weather ' Of course Johnny Chuck and Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse were sound asleep in their homes in the ground Striped Chipmunk was also asleep but not so soundly Bobby Coon was asleep and so was Buster Bear Jimmy Skunk Mrs Jimmy and four of their children were sleeping together but not so soundly as some of the others All of these folk cared not at all how hard rough Brother North Wind blew or how thick the whirling clouds of snow were j And down under the snow Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse were entirely comfortable in the little tunnels they had dug Their big cousins Jerry Muskrat and Mrs Jerry were equally comfortable in their house in the Smiling Pool swimming out beneath the ice when they felt like it and knowing nothing of the storm And this was the day before Christmas There was little happiness on the Green Meadows In the Old Orchard or in the Green Forest es anywhere In sight” He was gripped by a terrible fear Could the blow on Ann’s head have 1054 NEA SERVICE INC affected her mind?
