,.'wh,t T owe1 K11 "Ply-Stpr"; and how tha sudden rahwtorm cam, ,
but faflad to wet them in their anur ihelfer. Wefl, after tuch a nice warm shower
the (rati sprang up so fast you could almost see it grow, the trees began to put
"forth their leaves, and the early wild flowers shyly peeped through the carpet of
; dead leaves in the woods. One bright morning the children' went out to pick
eome.and.of course, their "faithful followers'' went along, too. , "
- . They found thewamp-WUIows covered with the little white fluff y buda
that children call rpussyats," or "pussy-wfllowe." Growling Bird cut off a lot -
of the email branche. but not enough to injure the buaheS. Meanwhile. Yellow i
C Hair ran about picking the pretty wild Liliee, the red, the white, and yellow ones.
' She gsthered briiht blue Larkspurs, and the pink and white Mayflower, or Trail-
' ".; ing Arbutus. : But Aundak and Little Bear hunted for ROOTS I They cared ' ''

smooth birch pole and then they aU started back to the Wigwam.-. Yellow Hair v
carried the flowers, and even Little Bear "toted" an armful But sly old Aundak " '
stole a ride and tried to eat the "pussy-csts" that Growling Bird carried.' "
