"We must go back," said the old man, "O'er these logs we cannot clamber; Not a woodchuck could get through them, Not a squirrel clamber o'er them!"

Miss Bemont, she't lives over on Woodchuck Hill, she's got a lot o' little turkeys in a coop; I guess you'd better go 'long over there, an' ef you can't get none o' her'n, by that time our boys'll be to hum, an' I'll set 'em arter our'n; they'll buckle right to; it's good sport huntin' little turkeys; an' I guess you'll hev to stop, comin' home, so's to let me know ef you'll hev 'em.

[Illustration] [Illustration] THE HAPPY RATTLE Willie Woodchuck sat at the entrance of his burrow home whittling upon a tiny dried gourd.

"Willie Woodchuck is whittling because he has nothing better to do!" said Timothy Toad.

Timothy Toad cried, "Willie Woodchuck is, whittling because he has nothing else to do!"

"Willie Woodchuck is whittling on a rattle!"

"Willie Woodchuck is whittling on a beautiful yellow and blue and red and black rattle and it rattles beautifully.

When Tilly and Timothy Toad and Eddie Elf and Gerty Gartersnake and Wallie Woodpecker and Billie Bumblebee and Winnie Woodchuck arrived at Grumpy Grundy's place they heard merry laughter and whenever the laughter ceased, they heard the buzz and rattle and hum of Willie Woodchuck's rattle.

And there was Willie Woodchuck with the beautiful yellow and red and blue and black and white rattle, and when he rattled it Grumpy Grundy rolled on the floor and laughed until the tears ran from her eyes.

And after that no one could say that Willie Woodchuck had nothing else to do, for he spent his time making beautiful "happy rattles" which he gave away to all the creatures, and everyone laughed and made merry whenever they heard the beautiful yellow and red and blue and black and white rattles which rattled so beautifully and drove away the grumpies.

If the woodchuck stirs up his banked life-fire and ventures forth, he will not see his shadow, and must straightway arrange with winter for a rebate in our favour.

Kermit and Fiala went after one on foot, full-speed, for a mile and a half, with two hounds which then bayed itliterally bayed it, for the capybara fought with the courage of a gigantic woodchuck.
