BURGESS. It's good for Rabbits, Frogs and Men To count their blessings now and then. Old Mother Nature. So you really thought 1 have no ears', said Grandfather Frog from hi big, green, lily pad in the Smiling Pol to Peter Rabbit sitting on the bank. Peter looked a little foolish as he nodded.

"I guess I didn't really- think anything about it" "I guess you didn't. The Great World is filled with people just like you. Peter Rabbit, people who don't think. Chuga-rum! What a different world this would be if more folks did replied Grandfather Frog. V.y "Have you other blessings?" asked Peter innocently.

"I think those ears of your are truly said Peter. They are one of my blessings. I wouldn't trade ears with any one in all the Great vre-plied Grandfather Frog. "Have you other blessings?" Peter asked innocently. "Chuga-rum!" exclaimed Grandfather Frog in his deepest, gruffest voice.

"Shame on you. Peter Rabbit, for asking such a question! Do you know any one who hasn't any "I I stammered Peter. "Don't say interrupted Grandfather Frog. "Don't say demanded Peter, looking surprised. "That you've never thought about retorted Grandfather Frog.

You think about the things you 'haven't but Would like to have and forget all, about the blessings you do have.

Do you know what I do?" "What do you do?" Peter wanted to know at once. "I count my blessings every day. It is a good plan. It constantly reminds me of how much better off I am than a lot of other folks. Take this matter of ears.

I'm thankful my ears are not like your ears." "There is nothing the matter with my retorted Peter "Perhaps not for you, but they wouldn't do for me. They would not do at all. I should say not!

"Then there, are con tinued Grandfather Frog. "They are another of. blessings. They are practically on top of my head where eyes should be for one who Is in the water and wants to see without being seen. I.

can keep all under water but my eyes. No one Is likely to notice a couple of eyes. So I see without being seen. Can you do this with your, eyes; Peter Rabbit?" Those two big that had been bulging out of his head disappeared. They no longer bulged.

Isn't said Grandfather Frog, as he popped his eyes up again. "When I swim under water I Just draw them down out of the way so he water can't press against them. When I want to look around I stop swimming and pop them; up.

Yes, sir, my eyes are one of my. blessings. "And what a blessing it is to be able to stay down under water, or hidden in the mud at the bot tom, in perfect comfort as long as I please, and all because of the special skin Old Mother Nature me. Because of it, I can live like a fish iirwater, or I can live on land and swallow air. "We don't swallow air; we breathe said Peter.

"I swallow retorted Grandfather Frog, and he does. He went on counting his blessings until Peter was almost convinced that he, was blessed beyond all other, folks.
