were very happy, the little diver was a good wife
and the Crane a fine husband.
One day the wife pretended that she was ill
and the Crane became concerned about her, for
he thought that she was really quite ill. He went
fishing and tried his best to get her the choicest
nourishing food, and after catching a few he
would hurry home and give them to his wife. Af
ter several days, he began to wonder why his
wife did not improve in health, until one day he
came home and found out she was carrying on a
flirtation with Mr. Kingfisher and he realized
that his wife had not been sick at all and had
been deceiving him all the time. He could not de

their strength would give out before they reached
her. After all hope was given up a beautiful girl
by the name of Woodpecker came to the amaze

that the little duck had been tied with and saved
her. The people and parents rejoiced because of
the safe return of the little Diver and proceeded

only our selves, but those who are dear to us
must suffer, as did the little diver and her parents,
when the Little Diver became untrue to her hus
band the Crane. _________
