THE PRIZE
MRS. Robin Red-vest flew off to
find another worm, for she had
lost a perfectly good one juSt in try
ing to be a good neighbor and help
Peter Rabbit so that he wouldn’t
die of fright.
Old Jim Crow was keeping the
score with a long thorn, on a piece
of birch bark, and he announced now
in a hoarse voice, “Jimmy Coon has
won. Ninety-six wins. Now for the
prize! Where is it.
Benny Mink and Sammy Muskrat
ran to get the prize, as everyone

Off they ran to the hollow tree,
but not one eg£ —
wondered what it could be. But they
looked and they looked and they could
not find any prize. Soon they ran
back and said that Jimmy Coon must
be foaling, for they couldn’t find any
prize. But as Jimmy Coon had giv
en it and won it himself it wouldn’t
matter.
“Yes it does matter,” said old Jim

Crow. “I am the referee and this is
i a fair race, and if there is a prize
I I am going to see what it is.”
And every body looked at Jimmy
i Coon as if he were a thief. Now
; Jimmy Coon didn’t like to be treat
ed like this, and he sputtered out,
i “There is a perfectly good prize—
i five beautiful turtle eggs covered
- with moss, and Happy Jack, the gray
s squirrel, is watching them, and they
> are in that hollow tree over there—•
the seventh in a straight line from
; this oak tree.”
! “Well, seeing is believing,” said
old T 'm Crow. “We will all go and
see!”
So ou they ran to the hollow tree,
and when x1 ey got there, sure enough
there was th noss, but not one egg—
not one blessed turtle egg! Every
body scratched £/ d scratched in that
hole in the hollow tree and soon they
found a pile of egg shells, hidden
under some moss and twiggs in a
corner.
Jimmy Coon was perfectly de
lighted for he knew that until the
shells were found no one would be
lieve that there had been a prize at
all. And Jimmy Coon was perfect
ly disgusted with Happy Jack, to
think that a friend he had trusted
with such a valuable prize bad eaten
t or run awky with it.
“Tnese are awful day.-,” sai l .•im
my Coon to Teddy ’Possum, “you
can’t trust anybody.”
‘ Oh, I don’t know, ’ said Teddy
Possum, “Anyone with a spark of
I sense would have known not to trust
1 Happy Jack, the gray squirrel, with
‘ ei:ps“; you must be losing your mind.
* Any goose would know better than
' that."
