      Out and About with the Big Tree Gang - Jo Ellen Bogart

      Bogart

      The Compass

      Where’s Reg? asked Burt, when Keely arrived at Big Tree without her brother.

      He’s having a talk with Dad, but he’ll be along soon, Keely answered. What’s up with you guys?

      Oh, we were just looking at the clouds, said Shawna. That one looks like a fish, don’t you think?

      Well, it could be longer at the back, if you ask me, Keely said. She sang:

      "Cloud fishy, your top fin’s a sail.

      I think what you need is a much bigger tail."

      I could tell you a big fish tale! said Burt, chuckling.

      Hey, guys! called Reg, running toward Big Tree. Look what my dad just gave me! It’s my granddad’s old, old compass. Granddad gave it to my dad when he was my age. Now it’s mine! Whoopee!

      That’s really cool, said Burt. I love compasses. Well, I mean I love the idea of compasses. I’ve never had one myself.

      Reg held out a dark blue flannel bag with a drawstring at the neck. It’s in here, he said. He opened the bag and took out something round and metal. It was one of Granddad’s favorite things, said Reg. Dad says now I am responsible enough to have it for my own.

      It looks old, said Keely, really old.

      It is, said Reg. Look at how the silver color has rubbed off from so much use.

      You can see the yellow metal showing through in some places, said Shawna. It’s really nice, Reg. Can you show us how it works?

      Sure, said Reg. He opened the lid that covered the glass face. See how the needle moves around? The blue end always points to the Earth’s magnetic north pole, which is not quite the same as the true North Pole.

      Wow! said Shawna. I didn’t know there were two north poles!

      Now we will never get lost, said Burt.

      Reg grinned. "My dad said that a compass is not magic. You
