31 A Deed of Courage by Joan Bailey lOA Oh what a beautiful day it was! The sun was shining brightly, making the snow glitter on the hilltops like a thousand tiny stars. The tops of the trees, standing erect and tall, looked like miniature toy sol- diers guarding some unknown secret. While I was busy admiring this beautiful scenery, I was rudely jerked back to reality by the sputtering of the plane's engine. What could it be? My faithful pal Skippy , a tiny Scotch terrier, whimpered as if he predicted what was to follow. Down, down we went, the plane turning somersaults in the air, now nose:-diving for the ground, now climbing, trying to gain altitude, and tyler!-OOQOODOOOOODOODDO The next thing I knew, Skippy was licking my arm, whimp- ering softly. The gash on his paw was bleeding freely, and something was happening to my arm. Our first concern was to get out of the plane, but that was easier said than done., Finally we crawled from the wreck of a once beautiful plane, only to find the trees which looked so innocent up in the sky, now towering over us menacingly, Where were we? Maya be we were close to civilization, but maybe. . -2 I shuddered at the next thought and quickly put it out of my mind., I found some bandages in the wreck and attended to Skipperls paw, and my arm. I was relieved when I found out it was not as serious as I had earlier predicted it to be. Time passed on. Now and then, the snowflakes would drift lazily from the star speckled sky onto the frozen earth., This couldn't go on. Skippy and I started out, not knowing where we were going, nor how we would manage, with the night becoming colder every minute. Because of the shock and cold, I was not as careful as I should have been and tripped into a hole, where I lost consciousness., I-Iey, wake up , said a husky voice, I opened my eyes, only to see that daylight had come and a couple of men were standing over me, trying to wake me up. Where'S Skippy? I muttered., The two men exchanged glances and then told me Skippy had died. It seems he had found the men, and bothered them until they fol-2 lowed him to me. On the Way, Skippy died. He had been a real hero, for if it had.n't been for my pal, I might have died too., UU H UE
