"What. is it? he whispered. The truth is. he was frightened. He was a scared 'I'oad it ever there was one. Seeing hcfw scared he was, young Toad became scared too.

"What. is it?" he whispered.

"A snake,” Old Mr. Toad whis- pered back.

”Is it. coniintz this way?" (righ-

plied Olzl Mr. Toad.

Just. then they heard Flip the Terrier barking. and Old Mr. Toad guessed right away tiiat Flip had found Bluflor. ”L.ateii!" said ht "That Don has found him and may drive him aua)'-"

"I hope so," replied Young Toad in a quavcrlng voice. Then hi added. "Supposing he should drive him under here "

Old Toad looked startled. Yes, sir. those beautiful golden 'cyes of his had A startled look. "1 iliadnt thought of that." said h(. i"If he comm we won't be here" i "Where will we be?" asked i Young Toad.

i 'tHere," replied Old Mr. Toad. I "But: you just. said we wont be :here." retortcd young Toad.

'tWe won't. but we will." re- plied Old Mr. Toad. and there was A twinkle in his izoldeii cycs.

'”How can we be

"Th-at.'s easy." replied Old Mr. Toad. "We'll be here. but that Snake wont see us and will think

l we're not here. Now let's dig."

l Old Mr. Toad began to work lliis hind feet. He was digging. At. a once Young Toad began to do the lstume thing, They didnti dig with ltheir hands. but only with their hind feet. They were digging the sand away underneath themselves. They were backing down as they dug. It was just as if somebody or something underneath them were pulling them down. In a surpris- ingly short. time only the tops of their heads were above ground. Then they disappeared and the sand tell in. covering them com- pletel) They kept digging down and backing in until they felt sure there was enough earth over them
