And now the long black shadows were creeping through the Green
Forest, and if they didn't get there pretty soon, they would have to
wait until the next day.
So Spotty the Turtle found a good place to spend the night, and then
he sat down to watch and wait. Right before him was the thing which
he had found and which puzzled him so. What was it? Why, it was
a wall. Yes, Sir, that is just what it was -- a wall of logs and
sticks and mud, and it was right across the Laughing Brook, where
the banks were steep and narrow. Of course the Laughing Brook could
laugh no longer; there couldn't enough water get through that wall
of logs and sticks and mud to make even the beginning of a laugh.
Spotty wondered what lay behind that wall, and who had built it, and
what for, and a lot of other things. And he was still wondering
when he fell asleep.
CHAPTER XVI: The Pond In The Green Forest
SPOTTY THE TURTLE was awake by the time the first rays of the rising
sun began to creep through the Green Forest.
