The second thing which stood out in his mem- ory was a vast river, flowing so wide and deep that it seemed like a moving lake, with strange THE MATING OF BEOWNIE 189 things on the hanks, known to us as factories and cities. Past these, the family hurried fast, swiai- ming in mid-stream. Then, at last, the water changed. It wasn't pollution, it wasn't foul — ^it was salt! Bro^vnie felt a strange sensation come over him at the first sting of that salt. He wanted to swim on and on, and meet it, ge...t deeper into it. He knew not why or what, but some- thing seemed to call him out, out, toward the salt. His father, however, ordered a return. He didn't particularly care for the fish they now caught. But the third thing was the most wonderful of all. He saw other otters ! All his childhood, he had seen only his father and mother and brother and sister, but on this trip he learned that there were otters who did not belong to his family, and in one little, forest-fringed pond was a family just the size of his, with two girl otters in it, who were most attractive and not at all unfriendly when Brownie met them as he was chasing a perch.
