Blinky Mole is Very Happy

-He Thinks It's a Beautiful World—

By MAX TRELL

➜LJNKY MOLE was sitting n the steps just outside the back door of his house under the stump of the old apple tree. As usual, he was wearing his dark glasses. Blinky's eyes couldn't stand the sunlight. The sunlight made them wink and squint. That's why he wore the dark glasses.

Just then Knart, the shadow- boy with tho turned-about namo, come along.

"Ah, top-of-the-morning you, Knart" answered Blinky. "Sit down for a minute and have a talk if you're not too bury.

What are you going to du today, Blinky?" Knart said after he sat down.

"That's hard to say," soid Blinky, "I might do lots of things. I might dig a bit more in my tunnel, I might go down to the

pond and visit Old Croker the Frog. I might visit Squire Squirrel. I might do lots of things. Only I've just decided to sit here and do nothing."

Knart said that was a nice thing to do when you didn't have anything else to do.

"I haven't,* sald Chirple. "I've Anished my work, I was just about to ask Chippy to bring up a dish of acom tes. How are things going on over at the house?"

"Fine," said Kaart. "Children all well?"

"Yes, everyone is well."

"That's wonderful. I'm glad to hear it, Knart, Oh, Chippy!... Hello, down there!" he suddenly called down to the

chipmunk. "Will you bring up some tea and come and join us? Knarf is here! We'll have a little party."

"Right away, Blinky!" Chippy called up from the underground house. "I'll put the kettle on the fire/"

"You know," Blinky went on to Knart, "I've been thinking of what a lovely old world this is. There's plenty to eat everybody-plenty of plenty of good friends to say good day to plenty of more friends to sit down with for a quiet chat over a cup of tea."

Blinky

silent for a moment or two. He took off his dark glasses and looked out at the sunlight for just a second, then put the glasses back again.

"And lots of work

to keep busy over," he went on. "That's the important thing-keep busy at your work! I never did know a good creature who didn't have lots of work to do. And of course, when the day's work is done, you're entitled to alt down and rest and think about things

and talk about things.”,

Knarf found Blinky Mole sitting on the stops.

Blinky looked over. "Yes, a beautiful old world, isn't

"Suro is," said Chippy.
