THE CRAWLERY 7 



get to feed our voracious caterpillars, a net, and an 

 umbrella with a rectangular " crook " at the end of the 

 handle. The umbrella serves as a long arm to pull 

 down boughs just out of reach. For boughs still more 

 out of reach One of Us carries in her pocket a length 

 of strong fish-line with a sinker on one end. By 

 throwing this well over the bough the sinker will carry 

 the line down on the other side, and the branch can be 

 pulled down very easily. 



Sharp eyes, patience, and accuracy are absolutely 

 essential to our work in the Crawlery and out of doors.
