As he drew near his favorite log,
something tickled his nose. He stopped swimming to sniff and sniff.
My, how good it did smell! And it seemed to come right straight from
the old log. Jerry began to swim as fast as he could. In a few
minutes he scrambled out on the old log. Then Jerry rubbed his eyes
three times to be sure that he saw aright. There were luscious
pieces of carrot lying right in front of him.
Now there is nothing that Jerry Muskrat likes better than carrot.
So he didn't stop to wonder how it got there. He just reached out
for the nearest piece and ate it. Then he reached for the next piece
and ate it. Then he did a funny little dance just for joy. When he
was quite out of breath, he sat down to rest. Snap! Something had
Jerry Muskrat by the tail! Jerry squealed with fright and pain. Oh,
how it did hurt! He twisted and turned, but he was held fast and
could not see what had him. Then he pulled and pulled, until it
seemed as if his tail would pull off.
