BOBBY LYNX OF BOUND-TOP 29 
“Night is the time for hunting and eating ; 
Day is the time for resting and sleeping. ” 
And then Mother Lynx told them to lie 
perfectly still all night while she went out 
to try to find them something good to eat 
for their breakfast. Mother Lynx was 
really very much pleased with her day’s 
work. Surely her kittens were very smart 
and it was really wonderful the way they 
had learned the Keep-Quiet Rule. She 
was especially proud of Bobby, for he had 
walked home on his stubby legs as cau¬ 
tiously as a mother cat could expect him 
to. Tommy was very bright, too, but he 
had made an awful noise, Mother Lynx 
thought, as he had slipped and slid and 
rolled when the dry sticks got under his 
clumsy little feet. However,—they had 
done very well and Mother Lynx gave 
them each a final lick with her warm 
tongue before she started out on her 
nightly hunt.
