Book excerpt: The Tale of Grumpy Weasel Sleepy-Time Tales by Arthur Scott Bailey IA SLIM RASCAL Old Mr. Crow often remarked that if Grumpy Weasel really wanted to be of some use in the world he would spend his time at the sawmill filling knot holes in boards. "He's so slender," Mr. Crow would say, "that he can push himself into a knot hole no bigger round than Farmer Green's thumb." Naturally it did not please old Mr. Crow when Solomon Owl went out of his way one day to tell him that he was sadly mistaken. For after hearing some gossip repeat Mr. Crow's opinion Solomon Owl-the wise old bird-had given several long hoots and hurried off, though it was broad daylight, to set Mr. Crow right. "The trouble-" Solomon explained when he had found Mr. Crow on the edge of the woods-"the trouble with your plan to have Grumpy Weasel work in the sawmill is that he wouldn't keep a knot hole filled longer than a jiffy. It's true that he can fit a very small hole. But if you'd ever watched him closely you'd know that he's in a hole and out the other side so fast you can scarcely see what happens. He's entirely too active to fill the bill. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
