Just as they reached the rock pile Polly exclaimed: "Here comes Jimmy Skunk down the Lone Little Path! I haven't aeen him since we came over here to live." i Sure enough there was Jimmy: himself. He didn't, stick to the Lqne Little Path. He would wander off to one aide or the other to investigate an old stump, or. turn over an did piece of bark, or dig under an old log.

"They were afraid of each other! Yes, sir, each one was afraid of the It 'did look that way, but Polly was mistaken. They were not afraid of each other, for each knew that the other had no desire to barm him. But.

each was afraid to meddle with either of the others; which is a very different matter. So each treated the other with respect and felt per fectly safe. Polly sighed.
