Buster Bear hadn't enjoyed himself so much since he came to the Green Forest to live. His fun began when he surprised Little Joe
Otter1 on the bank of a little pool in the Laughing
Brook2 and Little Joe was so frightened that he dropped a fat
trout3 he had just caught. It had seemed like a great joke to Buster Bear, and he had
chuckled4 over it all the time he was eating the fat trout. When he had finished it, he started on to do some fishing himself.
Presently he came to another little pool. He stole up to it very, very softly, so as not to frighten the fish.[Pg 13] Then he sat down close to the edge of it and didn't move. Buster learned a long time ago that a fisherman must be patient unless, like Little Joe Otter, he is just as much at home in the water as the fish themselves, and can swim fast enough to catch them by chasing them. So he didn't move so much as an eye
lash6. He was so still that he looked almost like the
stump7 of an old tree. Perhaps that is what the fish thought he was, for pretty soon, two or three swam right in close to where he was sitting. Now Buster Bear may be big and clumsy looking, but there isn't anything that can move much quicker than one of those big paws of his when he wants it to. One of them moved now, and quicker than a
wink8 had
scooped9 one of those foolish fish out on to the bank.
Buster's little eyes twinkled, and he[Pg 14]
smacked10 his lips as he moved on to the next little pool, for he knew that it was of no use to stay longer at the first one. The fish were so frightened that they wouldn't come back for a long, long time. At the next little pool the same thing happened. By this time Buster Bear was in fine spirits. It was fun to catch the fish, and it was still more fun to eat them. What finer breakfast could any one have than fresh-caught trout? No wonder he felt good! But it takes more than three trout to fill Buster Bear's stomach, so he kept on to the next little pool.
