Little Joe Otter

"Hi, Little Joe!" he called. "Are you living up this way?"

Little Joe grinned in spite of the fish in his mouth. "Certainly I am," said Little Joe. "Come call on me and meet Mrs. Joe."

With that Little Joe suddenly disappeared under water, and though Peter sat for a long, long time watching, he saw nothing more of Little Joe.

"Now however am I going to make a call when I don't know where to call?" muttered Peter, as he started for the dear Old Briar-patch. "Anyway, I have found out that there is a Mrs. Joe!" he added triumphantly.
