There's no use in fuss and fretting, Just Ibz-cause you get a wettinfb -Mother Bear.

Two little black cubs were having Q most exciting day and the most fun they had had in all their short lived, Mother Bear had taken them fishing. She had taken them to si big brook, which was wide and .ha.iiow in some places. deeper and narrower and running faster in wther places, and in still other places deeper still in quiet pools. Never lafore had they seen so much water and, of course, never before had lhCV been fishing.

it happened to be I good day for fishing. It happened that many f an of a certain kind were running up the brook. going up to 595W”- Finh are hatched from eggs. and the eggs are laid on the bottoms I-f brooks and ponds. This is called spawning. And those special spawn- ing places are visited b.V ihe fish at certain times of the year. some spawn in the spring, some in sum- mer. and others in the fail. Be- rausa they must find just the right places to spawn. the fish often 4-ome long distances up rivers and hrooks, sometimes in great num- bers,

would stand at the edge of tho water, sometimes with her front paws in the water, until a. fish. not seeing her, would start to swim past. With a liirhtning-like sweerl of 3, big paw, she would C065 ilhfl fish up on the share. one of the, who would pounce on it as it flop- ped Iibout.

Taddy Bear had tried to pounce

Like a flash one of his: little paws shot out, and knocked that fish right out of the water. Then he jumped on it in triumph. A pmuder little bear never lived in the Green Forest. He had caught his first fish, Anyway. he thought he had caught it. After that lie, was eager to catch another. H.-' was eager to show what. a good fisherman he was. Totty Bear was content. to let mother cntrh the fish for her. but Taddy Bear want- ed to catch his own fish

so they made their wav i1iO"Z the shore of the brook. Preseiitiv they came to a quiet pool. It wZ1F”.i, very deep. but it was too deeii .5. mother's kind of fishimz. she didnt even stop there.

From the rock

in the shore the water was shallow. Taddy Bear waded out to that rock. Standing in it he could look right down in that pool. And it set-nied to him as if. all the fish in the brook must be in that pool. Tlit-y were down on the bottom quite beyond his reach, but he didn't know that.

The writer has so clear that it didn't look deep at all. Those fish seemed to be rlfilil in easy reach. He leaned over the edge of the rock. He leaned out as far as he could, He was sure he couldn't miss getting: one of those fish. He made a quick siioep Vllih a little paw. lcsl its balance and tumbled i'lPadi-'5l llllfl that pool, scattering the fish in all directions.

BAD BREAKS NOT ALWAYS FATAL

Bad breaks. like everything else in bridge are relative. When they can't be overcome by proper play. than they are really unfortunate, but in 3 great many instances the declnrer can find an easy and effective remedy. For example:

He went ahead and drew another round of spades, then led the ace and king of hearts. At this point. he had something to niumble about, be- cause East ruffed the heart king with his high trump and returned another club. West won, and on his heart-jack exit. South was faced with the sure loss of a heart trick. Down one,

South obviously felt that he had had very bad luck in getting a 3-0 break of trumps and a 4-1 break of hearts. and it's true that these -hreaks would have been most unfortunate under other circum- stances. But in this case the breaks should not have given South any mice he saw that East was sure to win a trump trick.
