THE PORCUPINE AND THE SNAKES
 
A  Prickly Porcupine came wandering  along
one  day,  looking  for a place to live.
   He  found  a  family  of  Snakes living in a
warm cave, and asked them to let him come in.
   The Snakes consented, though much against
their will, and  the  Porcupine crept  into their
home.   But  they  soon  found  that  his  sharp
quills  stuck  into  them,  and hurt  them, and
they wished they had never let him in.
   "Dear  Porcupine,  please  go  away,"  they
said; "you are so large and so  prickly."
   But the Porcupine was very rude, and said.
"O  no.   If  you  do not like it here,  you  can
go away.  I find it very nice."

   It  is easier  to keep an intruder out than to
compel  him  to  go  when  you  have  once let
him in.
