Beavers Dam Friends PDF Download

Excerpt from Forest Friends Stories At the edge of the stream the beavers made their house. They used the same kinds of materials they had used in the dam. In their house the beavers lived safe and warm during the winter. Spring came and brought the rains. Day after day it rained, and the water in the stream rose higher and higher. It pressed against the dam with great force. It seemed about to carry the dam away. One day Grandfather Beaver went out to inspect the dam. He saw that it was in danger from the flooding waters. Suddenly he slapped his flat tail on the water to call the other beavers. Every one came out to Grandfather Beaver. Very soon they were all busily at work cutting holes in the dam they had worked so hard to build. They dug through the mud and cut the interlaced branches with their sharp teeth. Hour after hour they worked without resting. At last the water poured through the openings and ran rushing down the stream. The dam did not wash away. Like the good engineers they were, the beavers watched the level of the stream. When danger from the flood was over, they started to work again. Soon all the openings were mended; the dam was as good as new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
