"There's a woodchuck over on the side hill that is eating our grass," said Twinkle's father, who

was a farmer.

"Why don't you catch it?" asked Twinkle's mother.

"I believe 1 will", answered the man.

So, when the midday dinner was over, the farmer went to the field on the hillside to catch the woodchuck.

Twinkle wanted very much to go with him, but she had to help mamma wash the dishes and put them away, and then clean up the dining-room and put it in order. But when the work was done, and she had all the rest of the

afternoon to herself, she decided to go over to the woodchuck's hole and see

how papa would catch the woodchuck.

So the little girl climbed over the garden fence and ran to the hill.

She knew perfectly well where the woodchuck's hole was, for she had looked at it curiously many times; so she came to it carefully and found the trap put just in front of the hole. If the woodchuck stepped on it, when it

came out, the trap would hold it fast; and so when the woodchuck was caught, it couldn't run away.

But although the day was bright and sunshiny, and just the kind of day woodchucks like, the clover-eater had not yet walked out of its hole. So Twinkle lay down in the clover-field, half hidden by long green grass in front of the woodchuck's hole, and began to watch for the little animal to come out. Her eyes could see right into the hole; but of course she couldn't see very far in, because the hole wasn't straight.

It was rather tiring to wait and watch for so long, and the warm sun was shining so pleasantly that it all made Twinkle's eyes close. She wasn't going to sleep, because then she might miss the woodchuck; but there was no harm

in closing her eyes just one little minute; so she fell asleep.
