The Tiny Folk

(A real story of real children for very young children) I

Out on Uncle Bob's farm Dusky. Winkle’; mother, still had two kit- tens left. One was black and white like herself, the other was a mal- tese grey like Grandma Puss. These two roly poly kittens had great fun playing with each other in their cosy box on the barn floor. it was quiet in there. and rather dark. except when lrene came in to play and left the barn door open for light.

But the kittens were getting big- ger now. and had decided that the would find out what was out- side their box. They snuggled down pretending to be asleep, un- til Dusky left them. Grandma Puss, who usually stayed close by when their mother was away was not there either.

lrene had thought and thought over names for the kittens and at

fins and the black andiwhite one Matilda. it was usually Muffins who started any mischief that was on foot.

Today he stretched himself just as soon as he was sure his mo- ther was gone. He woke up Ma- tildn, saying. “Come on, let's get out of this box and do some ex- ploring."

By digging in their claws. and scratching with their hind feet, the two kittens managed to get to the top edge and hang on, though Matilda fell back twice.

"Goodness. it looks far floor," mewed Matilda.

"Over I go. anyway.“ said Muf- fins and over he did go. though not the way he had planned. He had leaned over too far. and

For a few minutes they stood close together by their box.

Their eyes were very round and -..4

big. The barn floor seemed such a very very big place. now that they were there alone. What strange noises there were! The far corner seemed to be full of dark shadows. Muffins and Ma- tilda squeezed closer to each oth- er

"Crime on. Matilda. There's noth- ing to hurt us." said Muffins boldly. "I'm going right over to that bright spot on the barn floor." The sun was shining in through a little window and making a golden patch on the bare brown planks of the barn floor.

After they got used to being out. the two kittens got quite brave. They chased each other and romped around. They pretend- ed the bits of hay were alive. and chased them. They would run and pounce down upon them with their soft furry paws. What fun they had! They weren't making any noise. but you can be sure that. if they had been children. you would have been able to hear them far away.

But what was that’? What queer sound was at the door. Some- thing was coming! There was I streak of grcy as Muffins flew toward a bag of iced and crouch- ed behind it. Matilda raced like lighting to hide under some loose hay. There they lay quiet as shadows but their hearts thumping with fright. as the noise came nearer and nearer.
