Little Joe Otter.
The young Otter had told his father, Little Joe Otter, the story of how his fish had mysteriously disappeared. You should have seen the twinkle in Little Joe’s eyes as he listened.
“Would you really like to know what became of your fish?” Little Joe asked.
“Of course I would,” replied the young Otter. “But I don’t believe anybody will ever find out.”
“Don’t you think I could find out if I went over there?” asked Little Joe.
The young Otter shook his head very decidedly. “No, I don’t,” said he very honestly.
“All right, son, let’s go fishing,” replied Little Joe Otter, his eyes twinkling more than ever.
So together they went fishing, and presently each caught a fish. “You take yours over to the bank, but don’t stop to eat it. Keep your eyes on this fish of mine,” said Little Joe.
