It was hard work, the hardest kind of hard work. But Jerry Muskrat
is the kind that is the more determined to do the work the harder
the work is to be done. And so, while Grandfather Frog sat on one
end of the dam and pretended to keep watch, but really took a nap in
the warm sunshine, and while Spotty the Turtle sat on the other end
of the dam doing the same thing, and while Billy Mink and Little Joe
Otter swam around in the strange pond and enjoyed themselves, Jerry
Muskrat worked and worked and worked. And just as jolly, round, red
Mr. Sun started down behind the Purple Hills, Jerry broke through
into the strange pond, and the water began to run in the Laughing
Brook once more.
CHAPTER XX: Jerry Has A Dreadful Disappointment
There's nothing in this world that's sure,
No matter how we scheme and plan.
We simply have to be content
With doing just the best we can.
Jerry Muskrat had curled himself up for the night, so tired that he
could hardly keep his eyes open long enough to find a comfortable
place to sleep.
