     Reddy didn't stop to   make   reply�察�he   just   started off  at   the top   of  his 

speed�察�a badly frightened little fox。 

     You see�察�Bowser the Hound knew all about that trick and he had just 

waited until the train had passed and then had run across the bridge right 

behind it。 

     And   as   Reddy   Fox�察  �out   of   breath   and   tired�察  �ran   to   seek   the   aid   of 

Granny   Fox   in   getting   rid   of   Bowser   the   Hound�察  �he   heard   a   sound   that 

made him grind his teeth。 

     ;Haw�察�haw�察�haw� �How smart we are� ─�

     It was Blacky the Crow。

                           THE ADVENTURES OF REDDY FOX 



                IV。 Reddy Fox Grows Bold 



     Reddy Fox was growing bold。 Everybody said so�察�and what everybody 

says must be so。 Reddy Fox had always been very sly and not bold at all。 

The truth is Reddy Fox had so many times fooled Bowser the Hound and 

Farmer Brown's boy that he had begun to think himself very smart indeed。 

He had really fooled himself。 Yes�察�Sir�察�Reddy Fox had fooled himself。 He 

thought himself so smart that nobody could fool him。 

     Now  it is one   of the   worst habits   in the   world to think too   much   of 

one's self。 And Reddy Fox had the habit。 Oh�察�my�察�yes� �Reddy Fox certainly 

did   have   the   habit�   �When   anyone   mentioned   Bowser   the   Hound�察  �Reddy 

would turn up his nose and say�此 �Pooh� �It's the easiest thing in the world to 

fool him。; 

     You see�察�he had forgotten all about the time Bowser had fooled him at 

the railroad bridge。 

     Whenever   Reddy   saw   Farmer   Brown's   boy   he   would   say   with   the 

greatest scorn�此 �Who's afraid of him�拭�Not I� ─�

     So   as   Reddy   Fox   thought   more   and   more   of   his   own   smartness�察  �he 

grew   bolder   and   bolder。  Almost   every   night   he   visited   Farmer   Brown's 

henyard。  Farmer   Brown   set traps   all   around the   yard�察 �but   Reddy  always 

found   them  and   kept   out   of   them。   It   got   so   that   Unc'   Billy  Possum   and 

Jimmy Skunk didn't dare go to the henhouse for eggs any more�察�for fear 

that they would get into one of the traps set for Reddy Fox。 Of course they 

missed those fresh eggs and of course they blamed Reddy Fox。 

     ;Never     mind�察─   �said   Jimmy     Skunk�察   �scowling     down    on   the   Green 

Meadows where Reddy Fox was taking a sun bath�察 �Farmer Brown's boy 

will get him yet� �I hope he does� ─�Jimmy said this a little spitefully and 

just as if he really meant it。 

     Now   when   people   think   that   they   are   very�察  �very   smart�察  �they   like   to 

show off。 You know it isn't any fun at all to feel smart unless others can 

see how smart you are。 So Reddy Fox�察�just to show off�察�grew very bold�察�

very bold indeed。 He actually went up to Farmer Brown's henyard in broad 

daylight�察�and almost under the nose of Bowser the Hound he caught the 

pet chicken of Farmer Brown's boy。 'Ol Mistah Buzzard�察�sailing overhead

high up in the blue�察�blue sky�察�saw Reddy Fox and shook his bald head�此�

    ;Ah see Trouble on the way�察�Yes�察�Ah do� �Yes�察�Ah do� �Hope it ain't a´ 

gwine to stay�察�Yes�察�Ah do� �Yes�察�Ah do� �Trouble am a spry ol' man�察�Bound 

to find yo' if he can�察�If he finds yo' bound to stick。 When Ah sees him�察�Ah 

runs quick� �Yes�察�Ah do� �Yes�察�Ah do� ─�

    But Reddy Fox thought himself so smart that it seemed as if he really 

were hunting for Ol' Mr。 Trouble。 And when he caught the pet chicken of 

Farmer Brown's boy�察�Ol' Mr。 Trouble was right at his heels。

                 V。 Reddy Grows Careless 



     Ol' Mistah Buzzard was right。 Trouble was right at the heels of Reddy 

Fox�察�although Reddy wouldn't have believed it if he had been told。 He had 

stolen that plump pet chicken of Farmer Brown's boy for no reason under 

the sun but to show off。 He wanted everyone to know how bold he was。 

He thought himself so smart that he could do just exactly what he pleased 

and   no   one   could   stop   him。   He   liked   to   strut   around   through   the   Green 

Forest and over the Green Meadows and brag about what he had done and 

what he could do。 

     Now people who brag and boast and who like to show off are almost 

sure to   come   to   grief。 And   when   they do�察 �very  few  people   are sorry  for 

them。   None   of   the   little   meadow   and   forest   people   liked   Reddy   Fox�察�

anyway�察�and they were getting so tired of his boasting that they just ached 

to see him get into trouble。 Yes�察�Sir�察�they just ached to see Reddy get into 

trouble。 

     Peter   Rabbit�察  �happy´go´lucky   Peter   Rabbit�察  �shook   his   head   gravely 

when he heard how Reddy had stolen that pet chicken of Farmer Brown's 

boy�察�and was boasting about it to everyone。 

     ;Reddy Fox is getting so puffed up that pretty soon he won't be able to 

see his own feet�察─�said Peter Rabbit。 

     ;Well�察�what if he doesn't�拭─�demanded Jimmy Skunk。 

     Peter looked at Jimmy in disgust�此�

     ;He comes to grief�察�however fleet�察�Who doesn't watch his flying feet。 

     ;Jimmy      Skunk�察    �if  you   didn't   have   that   little  bag   of  scent   that 

everybody is afraid of�察�you would be a lot more careful where you step�察─�

replied Peter。 ;If Reddy doesn't watch out�察�someday he'll step right into a 

trap。 

     Jimmy Skunk chuckled。 ;I wish he would� ─�said he。 

     Now   when   Farmer   Brown's   boy   heard   about   the   boldness   of   Reddy 

Fox�察  �he   shut   his   mouth   tight   in   a   way   that   was   unpleasant   to   see   and 

reached for his gun。 ;I can't afford to raise chickens to feed foxes� ─�said he。 

Then he whistled for Bowser the Hound�察�and together they started out。 It 

wasn't long before Bowser found Reddy's tracks。

     ;Bow�察�wow�察�wow�察�wow� ─�roared Bowser the Hound。 

     Reddy   Fox�察    �taking   a  nap   on  the   edge  of  the   Green   Forest�察  �heard 

Bowser's big�察�deep voice。 He pricked up his ears�察�then he grinned。 ;I feel 

just   like   a   good   run   today�察─  �said   he�察  �and   trotted   off   along   the   Crooked 

Little Path down the hill。 

     Now this was a beautiful summer day and Reddy knew that in summer 

men and boys seldom hunt foxes。 ;It's only Bowser the Hound�察─�thought 

Reddy�察 �and when I've had a good run�察�I'll play a trick on him so that he 

will lose my track。; So Reddy didn't use his eyes as he should have done。 

You see�察�he thought himself so smart that he had grown careless。 Yes�察�Sir�察�

Reddy Fox had grown careless。 He kept looking back to see where Bowser 

the Hound was�察�but didn't look around to make sure that no other danger 

was near。 

     Ol' Mistah Buzzard�察�sailing round and round�察�way up in the blue�察�blue 

sky�察�could see everything going on down below。 He could see Reddy Fox 

running     along    the  edge   of  the   Green    Forest   and   every   few   minutes 

stopping to chuckle and listen to Bowser the Hound trying to pick out the 

trail Reddy had made so hard to follow by his twists and turns。 And he saw 

something else�察�did Ol' Mistah Buzzard。 It looked to him very much like 

the   barrel   of   a   gun   sticking   out   from   behind   an   old   tree   just   ahead   of 

Reddy。 

     ;Ah reckon it's just like Ah said�此�Reddy Fox is gwine to meet trouble 

right smart soon�察─�muttered Ol' Mistah Buzzard。

           VI。 Drummer the Woodpecker 

                            Drums in Vain 



     Once upon a time�察�before he had grown to think himself so very�察�very 

smart�察  �Reddy   Fox   would   never�察  �never   have   thought   of   running   without 

watching out in every direction。 He would have seen that thing that looked 

like the barrel of a gun sticking out from behind the old tree toward which 

he was running�察�and he would have been very suspicious�察�very suspicious 

indeed。 But now all Reddy could think of was what a splendid chance he 

had   to   show   all   the   little   meadow   and   forest   people   what   a   bold�察  �smart 

fellow he was。 

     So once more Reddy sat down and waited until Bowser the Hound was 

almost   up   to   him。  Just then   Drummer   the Woodpecker   began   to   make   a 

tremendous       noiserat´a´tat´tat´tat�察  �rat´a´tat´tat´tat�察  �rat´a´tat´tat´tat�  �Now 

everybody who heard that rat´a´tat´tat´tat knew that it was a danger signal。 

Drummer   the   Woodpecker   never   drums   just   that   way   for   pleasure。   But 

Reddy Fox paid no attention to it。 He didn't notice it at all。 You see�察�he was 

so   full   of   the   idea   of   his   own   smartness   that   he   didn't   have   room   for 

anything else。 

     ;Stupid   thing� ─  �said   Drummer   the   Woodpecker   to   himself。   ;I   don't 

know what I am trying to warn him for�察�anyway。 The Green Meadows and 

the Green Forest would be better off without him�察�a lot better off� �Nobody 

likes him。 He's a dreadful bully and is all the time trying to catch or scare 

to   death   those    who    are  smaller    than   he。  Still�察 �he  is  so  handsome� ─�

Drummer cocked his head on one side and looked over at Reddy Fox。 

     Reddy was laughing to see how hard Bowser the Hound was working 

to untangle Reddy's mixed´up trail。 

     ;Yes�察�Sir�察�he certainly is handsome�察─�said Drummer once more。 

     Then   he   looked   down   at   the   foot   of   the   old   tree   on   which   he   was
