Jerry Muskrat looked over the Smiling Pool.

Almost at once he saw Grandfather Frog fast asleep on his big green lily-pad.

Jerry slipped down into the water and swam over to the big green lily-pad of Grandfather Frog.

Then he hit the water a smart blow with his tail.

Grandfather Frog's big goggly eyes flew open, and he was just about to make a frightened plunge into the Smiling Pool when he saw Jerry.

Have a nice nap? inquired Jerry, with a broad grin.

I wasn't asleep protested Grandfather Frog indignantly.

I was just thinking.

Elsewhere, Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter were planning to pull a perfectly rotten trick.

What can we do? said Little Joe Otter .

I've thought of a plan, replied Billy.

Do you happen to know where we can find Longlegs the Blue Heron? Yes, said Little Joe.

I saw him fishing not five minutes ago.

Then Billy told Little Joe his plan, and laughing and giggling, the two little scamps hurried off to find Longlegs the Blue Heron.

Longlegs, you see, was hungry -- and everyone knows that what he likes to eat is frogs.
