Paddy the Beaver Gives Warning at Smiling Pool
In a children’s tale Paddy the Beaver arrives to warn that he will build a pond in the Green Forest, diverting Laughing Brook water for a time. Grandfather Frog, Spotty the Turtle, Billy Mink, Little Joe Otter, Jerry Muskrat, and others discuss the coming change and await the brook’s return. The page also notes Bible scholars’ debate on Noah’s Ark construction time.
