THE PLUNGERS MAKE
HOME IN GREEN FOREST
T WAS very hard for Peter Rabbit
to believe what Jerry Muskrat had
toi@ him about the harmlessness of
Plunger the Osprey, hetter known as
Plunger the Fish Hawk. Peter
wouldn't have believed it if he hadnt
seen for himself how Jerry had no
fear whatever of Plunger. You see, it
was very, very hard indeed to believe
that there could be any member of the
Hawk family, at least any large mem-
ber like Plunger, who was not to be
feared by nll of the little people of
the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest. But Peter remembered the
mistake that had been made in regard
to OI’ Mistah Buzzard, how for a long
time he had been needlessly feared.
and this made it a little easier to
think that possibly Jerry Muskrat
might be right in regard to Plunger
the Fish Hawk.
Of course, Peter hurried to tell Dan-
sy Meadow Mouse and ali his other
friends what he had learned at the
Smiling Pool. Each was as doubtful
as Peter had been, but each hoped

twice flying from the Big River with |
water weeds, Peter knew what that |
meant. It meant that they were
building a nest. Right away Peter's
curiosity got the best of him. He |
wanted to see that nest. He wondered |
if it was like Redtail's. The first |
chance he got he went Over lo see,
He had watched Plunger and Mrs.
Plunger so often that he knew just
about where to look for their nest.
He found it quite as easily as he
had expected to, for it was only a lit-
tle way in from the edge of the Green
Ferest, beside the Laughing Brook as
it makes its laughing way to the Sil
ing Pool. It was in a partly dead tree,
a mass of sticks, and weeds and dead
rushes, not at all neat. Indeed, Peter
thought it was a very clumsy affair,
though he didn’t say so when Plunger
spied him and asked him what he
thought of their new home, Peter was
very polite,

this year, but next year we will make
it bigger, and the year after that we
will make it still bigger.”
Peter opened his eyes wide, “Oh,
you mean that you will use this same
nest year after year?" he asked.
“Certainly,” replied Plunger. “Why
not?"
“I don't know any reason why yo.
shouldn't,” confessed Peter. “I've al-
ways wondered why most birds seem
to prefer a new house every year. I
never could see why an old house, re-
paired if necessary, isn’t just as good
as a new one”
“It is better when It Is treated as
we treat it,” declared Plunger. “We
just make It bigger and more com-
fortable each year. You see, Mrs, |

“Over in the dear Old Brier Patch” |

“Kver intend to move?’ asked
Plunger,

Plunger chuckled. “You've got the |

“Why?” asked Peter,

HILLS AND

world is hills and valleys, and |
I never knew a country that didn’t
have the two—
A little hit of valley you had to travel
through,
But pow and then a mountain that
you could climb and see
The river far below you, up where
you want to be,
1 never knew a lifetime that hadn't
Joy and care,
But had its hills and valley, about
an even share,
The shadows in the valleys, I've
walked 'em like the rest,
But I have seen the mountains, the
mountains at their best,
The sun was on the summits, the
stars were bright and clear,
And earth was far below me, and
heaven almost here.
The time she said she loved me I
stood upon the height,
The time she up and left me I walked
the vales of night.
I know I'll never journey as high as
that again,
Or walk the sort of valley I had to
travel then,
And so I have my sorrow, but some-
times I rejoice;
Pm up upon a mountain, and then I
hear her voice,
There's gladness on the hilltop, there's
sorrow down below,
life Is hills and valleys,
women make It so.
But sometimes 1 imagine, and lots of
times I pray,
She yet will come returnin’, the way
she went away,
And I shall take her to me, forget
about the past,
And we shall live forever among the
hills, at last.
