O-GO AND THWACKER 
T HERE had been a series of rains of a 
severity unusual at that season of the 
year. As a result of this downpour, 
there was deep water for several miles up the 
creek, which led into Patou Pond. Now, if 
ever, was the time for O-Go to go exploring 
in that direction, and he intended to do so. 
He had already started out once, but had been 
turned back by the eagle. This time, he would 
not make the mistake of travelling in daylight.
