A foolish green fly tries to fly over him or past him. and in a flash that foolish green fly has disappeared in Grandfather Frog's big mouth. It is the same way when a small fish. or a tadpole or a Frog smaller than himself. not seeing him. comes within reach.

Grandfather Frog doesn't be-

lieve in working.

All the other members of the Smiling Pool. or nearly all of them, have to work for what they get. Jerry Muskrat and Mrs. Jerry are hard workers. They have a fine home, but they didn't just find it. nor was it given to live well. having plenty of good food to eat. but they go looking for it, and it tastes all the better be- cause they work for it.

All day long Grandfather Frog sits, and sits, unless unexpected danger comes his way. Then he dives headlong into the water and
