as often as he liked, he still rem ained
a frog.
It w as a long tim e before he cam e
to w ater, and w hen he did, in he
hopped, and, being refresh ed , he be­
gun to think ab o u t th e witch.
“She m ust have m ade a m istak e and
have given me the w rong d rin k ,”
thought Black Fox.
“I suppose th e only th in g to do Is to
get to h er cave and ask h e r to change
me hack again.”
All day and all nig h t he hopped
over stones and through brush until,
when he finally did reach th e cave of
th e old witch, he w as so tired th a t he
fell over on his back In fro n t of th e
cave door.
T he B lack C ht found him and began
to poke him w ith h er sh a rp claw s and
meow so loudly th a t out cam e the
witch. W hen she saw th e frog on the
ground she begun to laugh in a shrill,
cackling tone and dance ab o u t th e
poor frog, w hile th e c a t joined w ith
h e r m istress, and every once In a
w hile would poke froggie w ith her
claw s.
By and by th e wild dance stopped
and th e w itch gave him a ta p w ith her
m agic stick, w hich m ade th e frog sit
up and listen to w h at she said.
“You thought you could deceive a
w itch, did you, B lack F ox?” she said.
“You see now th a t you couldn’t.
I knew th e stone you brou g h t as I told
you to bring to me w as not from th e
bottom of th e pool and I k ep t my p a r t
of th e barg ain ju s t as you k ep t yours.”
“Give me back my own form again
and I prom ise to bring th e sto n e ) ou
w ish,” said th e frog.
“T h e re is only one w ay In w hich
you can regain your own shap e,” said
th e »'Itch, leaning on h er stick and
looking a t poor froggie, “an d th a t Is
to hop to the fo re st pool each day and
bring me a stone from th e bottom ’of
it. W hen I have all I w an t you w in

“I'll go to the pool an d re tu rn w ith
