THE ADVENTURES OF OLD MR. TOAD

I

JIMMY SKUNK IS PUZZLED

Old Mother West Wind had just come down from the Purple Hills and turned loose her children, the Merry Little Breezes, from the big bag in which she had been carrying them.  They were very lively and very merry as they danced and raced across the Green Meadows in all directions, for it was good to be back there once more.  Old Mother West Wind almost sighed as she watched them for a few minutes.  She felt that she would like to join them.  Always the springtime made her feel this way,—­young, mad, carefree, and happy.  But she had work to do.  She had to turn the windmill to pump water for Farmer Brown’s cows, and this was only one of many mills standing idle as they waited for her.  So she puffed her cheeks out and started about her business.
