Those great reaching claws were just ready to close when he dived and they did close. Only Jerry's hands and head reached the water he was fran- tically diving for. Then he squealed with pain and terror as he was lifted and, hanging head down, was carried across the Smiling Pool. Hooty the Owl had spoken truly when he said ‘I've got you now.” Poor, poor Jerry Muskrat! Hanging head down, he gazed at his beloved Smiling Pool for what he believed to be the last time. Those claws hurt dreadfully. Then being carried head down made him feel as If his heart and stomach and everything else inside him had slipped out of place.

Bo those claws had sim- ply gone through the coat, but not into Jerry's flesh enough for a good hold. Hooty was not yet as sure of his din- ner as he would have liked to be. Jerry was big and heavy and his coat might There was no getting another and better grip up there In the air.
