Text Appearing Before Image: ood funthat I could not eat him; though I always stopped togive him another dance, whenever I went fishing forother frogs just like him. Further along shore livedanother, a perfect savage, so wild that I could nevercatch him, which strangled or drowned two big frogsin a week, to my certain knowledge. And then, onenight when I was trying to find my canoe which Ihad lost in the darkness, I came upon a frog migra-tion, dozens and dozens of them, all hopping brisklyin the same direction. They had left the stream,driven by some strange instinct, just like rats orsquirrels, and were going through the woods to theunknown destination that beckoned them so stronglythat they could not but follow. The most curious and interesting bit of theirstrange life came out at night, when they were fas-cinated by my light. I used sometimes to set acandle on a piece of board for a float, and place it inthe water close to shore, where the ripples would setit dancing gently. Then I would place a little screen Text Appearing After Image: Chigwooltz the Frog. S3 of bark at the shore end of the float, and sit downbehind it in darkness. Presently two points of light would begin to shine,then to scintillate, out among the lily pads, and Chig-wooltz would come stealing in, his eyes growing big-ger and brighter with wonder. He would place hisforearms akimbo on the edge of the float, and lifthimself up a bit, like a little old man, and stare stead-fastly at the light. And there he would stay as longas I let him, just staring and blinking. Soon two other points of light would come stealingin from the other side, and another frog would set hiselbows on the float and stare hard across at the first-comer. And then two more shining points, and twomore, till twelve or fifteen frogs were gathered aboutmy beacon, as thick as they could find elbow room onthe float, all staring and blinking like so many strangewater owls come up from the bottom to debateweighty things, with a little flickering will-o-the-wispnodding grave assent in th Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
