"
"Chugarum! Let us all go," said Grandfather Frog.
Then the five put their heads together and decided that they would
go up the Laughing Brook to hunt for the trouble.
CHAPTER XII: A Hunt For Trouble
Ol' Mistah Buzzard, sailing high in the blue, blue sky, looked down
on a funny sight. Yes, Sir, it certainly was a funny sight. It was a
little procession of five of his friends of the Smiling Pool. First
was Billy Mink, who, because he is slim and nimble, moves so quickly
it sometimes is hard to follow him. Behind him was Little Joe Otter,
whose legs are so short that he almost looks as if he hadn't any.
Behind Little Joe was Jerry Muskrat, who is a better traveler
in the water than on land. Behind Jerry was Grandfather Frog, who
neither walks nor runs but travels with great jumps. Last of all was
Spotty the Turtle, who travels very, very slowly because, you know,
he carries his house with him. And all five were headed up the
Laughing Brook, which laughed no more, because there was not water
enough in it.
