A sample from "Billy Mink's Swimming Party" in ''Old Mother West Wind'': :Just then Billy Mink saw a little brown head swimming along one edge of the Smiling Pool. :"Hello, Jerry Muskrat!" shouted Billy Mink. :"Hello your own self, Billy Mink," shouted Jerry Muskrat. "Come in and have a swim; the water's fine!" :"Good," said Billy Mink. "We'll have a swimming party." :So Billy Mink called all the Merry Little Breezes of Old Mother West Wind, who were playing with the flowers on the bank, and sent them to find Little Joe Otter and invite him to come to the swimming party. Pretty soon back came the Little Breezes, and with them came Little Joe Otter. EXTERNAL LINKS |
