"Oh! they're threshing!" Mrs. Squirrel said, after she had taken one good look at what was going on. "They're threshing out the wheat-kernels, so the miller can grind them into flour."
"But those horses--" said Frisky. "Why is it that they don't walk right against that bar, and break it, and tumble off onto the ground?"
"That's a horse-power," Mrs. Squirrel explained. "The path the horses are treading on moves, and that's why they stay right in the same place. The path moves 'round and 'round all the time, like a broad chain. That's what makes the wheels turn on the threshing-machine."
"It must be fun," said Frisky Squirrel. "I wish I could be a horse, and make that horse-power turn like that."
"Nonsense!" said his mother. "You'd soon grow tired of it."
But Frisky Squirrel knew better.
