LESSON 9
THE BEAVER
海 狸

obta urious inhuman luding constructed
1. The beaver is found chiefly in North America. It is about three and
a half feet long, luding the flat, paddle-shaped tail, which is a foot in
length.
2. The long, shining hair on the back is chestnut-colored, while the fine,
soft fur that lies next the skin, is grayish brown.
3. Beavers build themselves most curious huts to live in, and qiute
frequently a great number of these huts are ced close together, like the
buildings in a town.
4. They always build their huts on the banks of rivers or lakes, for they
swim much more easily than they walk, and prefer moving about in the
water.
5. When they build on the bank of a running stream, they make a dam
across the stream for the purpose of kee the wa t the height they
wish.
6. These dams are made chiefly of mud, and stones, and the branches of
trees. They are sometimes six or seven hundred feet in length, and are so
constructed that they look more like the work of man than of little dumb
beasts.
7. Their huts are made of the same material as the dams, and are round in
shape. The wals are very thick, and the roofs are finished off with a thick
layer of mud, sticks, and leaves.
8. They commence building their houses late in the summer, but do not
get them finished before the early frosts. The zing makes them tighter
and stronger.
9. They obtain the wood for their dams and huts by gnawing through the
