66 NOVEMBER 



Why, of honey, to be sure. 



I am fonder of honey than any little child. 



And I can eat more too. 



It does not make me ill to eat a very great 

 deal of sweet. 



I am always watching for bees' nests. 



I am very fat now. 



I do not feel like working any more. 



The other day I found a beautiful den, under 

 the rocks. 



I have been lining it with moss and leaves 

 and pine branches. 



Is is very warm and comfortable inside. 



I believe that I could spend a very happy 

 winter sleeping there. 



So good-by, until April ! 



THE RISING MOON 



watching surely rising higher 

 happen dreadful 



Ah, the moon is watching me ! 

 White and round as round can be, 

 Over the house and the top of the tree,
