MOOR-HENS AND YOUNG.The colour of the beak uaries from dullest vrey in the hen to gold-yellow in the cock. 26 BY POND AND RIVER I knew I should not find his home; for thewater-voles make long burrows. I went for severaldays to the same place, and took some bread toleave there. At last one day, as I sat watching, outcame my little friend and ate the bread. After thatwe met several times, and he became quite tame.But I had to be very careful. The least thingfrightened him, and plop he went, into the water! If you go often to a pond or river, when all isvery quiet in the evening or early morning, youmay sometimes see a water-vole swimming in thewater, or feeding on the bank. He has beautifulyellow teeth. The lower ones are large and showvery clearly above his short lower lip. The young water-voles are such pretty littlecreatures. They are born in a nest of dry grass,which the old voles make in the burrow, andwhen they come out they swim about with theold ones, and feed on the duckweed. B
