otter-pond

Updated: May 27, 2025

Though you may be very young and small, you may, if you try, help those much older and bigger than yourself. I have another story about an otter, which lived in the Zoological Gardens in London. The otter-pond, surrounded by a wall, was on one occasion only half-full of water, when the otter for whose use it was intended had a pair of young ones.
