you might not believe me. Then the spring came, the south winds blew, and
the snow began to thaw. Then the ice came sliding down from the mountains
and hills and from the north toward the south. It went on, tearing up
rocks, little and big, from the size of a chip to the size of a house,
crushing forests as you would crush an eggshell, and wiping out rivers as
you would wipe out a chalk mark. So it came pushing, grinding, thundering
along,—not very fast, you understand, but with tremendous force, like a
plow drawn by a million oxen, for a thousand feet of ice is very heavy.
And the ice plow scraped over Oconto, and little Favosites was torn from
the place where he had lain so long; but by good fortune he happened to
fall into a crevice of the ice where he was not much crowded, else he
would have been ground to powder and I should not have had this story to
tell. And the ice melted as it slid along, and it made great torrents
of water, which, as they swept onward, covered the land with clay and
pebbles. At last the ice came to a great swamp overgrown with tamarack
and balsam. It melted here; and all the rocks and stones and dirt it had
carried—little Favosites and all—were dumped into one great heap.
It was a very long time after, and man had been created, and America had
been discovered, and the War of the Revolution and the Civil War had all
been fought to the end, and a great many things had happened, when one
day a farmer living near Grand Chute, in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, was
plowing up his clover field to sow to winter wheat. He picked up in the
furrow a curious little bit of “petrified honeycomb,” a good deal worn
and dirty, but still showing plainly the honey cells and the bee bread.
Then he put it into his pocket and carried it home, and gave it to his
boy Charley to take to the teacher and hear what he would say about it.
And this is what he said.
