CHAPTER XV: What Spotty The Turtle Found
Spotty the Turtle stared and stared and stared, until it seemed as
if his eyes surely would pop out of his funny little head. Of course
he could believe his own eyes, and yet -- and yet -- well, if anybody
else had seen what he was looking at and had told him about it, he
wouldn't have believed it. No, Sir, he wouldn't have believed it.
You see, he couldn't have believed it because -- why, because it
didn't seem as if it could be really and truly so.
He wondered if the sun shining in his eyes made him think he saw
more than he really did see, so he carefully changed his position.
It made no difference. Then Spotty was sure that what he saw was real,
and that he had found the cause of the trouble in the Laughing Brook,
which had made it stop laughing and the Smiling Pool stop smiling.
Spotty the Turtle was feeling pretty good. In fact, Spotty was
feeling very good indeed, because he had been the first to find out
what was the matter with the Laughing Brook.
