                           THE ADVENTURES OF REDDY FOX 



     Farmer Brown's boy whistled for Bowser the Hound and started for the 

Green Forest。 

     Unc' Billy Possum poked his sharp little old face out from under the 

henhouse and watched them go。 Usually Unc' Billy is grinning�察�but now 

there wasn't any grin�察�not the least sign of one。 Instead Unc' Billy Possum 

looked worried。 

     ;There   goes   that   boy  with   a   gun�察  �and   nobody   knows   what'll   happen 

when it goes off。 If he can't find Reddy Fox�察�just as likely as not he'll point 

it at somebody  else just   fo' fun。 Ah hope he doan   meet up   with mah   ol' 

woman or any of mah li'l' pickaninnies。 Ah'm plumb afraid of a boy with a 

gun�察�Ah am。 'Pears like he doan have any sense。 Ah reckon Ah better be 

moving along right smart and tell mah family to stay right close in the ol' 

hollow   tree�察─  �muttered   Unc'   Billy   Possum�察  �slipping   out   from   his   hiding 

place。 Then Unc' Billy began to run as fast as he could toward the Green 

Forest。

         XVIII。 The Hunt for Reddy Fox 



     ;Trouble�察�trouble�察�trouble�察�I feel it in the air�察�Trouble�察�trouble�察�trouble�察�

it's round me everywhere。; 

     Old   Granny   Fox   muttered   this   over   and   over�察  �as   she   kept   walking 

around uneasily and sniffing the air。 

     ;I don't see any trouble and I don't feel any trouble in the air。 It's all in 

the sore places where I was shot�察─�said Reddy Fox�察�who was stretched out 

on the doorstep of their home。 

     ;That's because you haven't got any sense。 When you do get some and 

learn to look where you are going�察�you won't get shot from behind old tree 

trunks and you will be able to feel trouble when it is near�察�without waiting 

for it to show itself。 Now I feel trouble。 You go down into the house and 

stay there� ─�Granny Fox stopped to test the air with her nose�察�just as she 

had been testing it for the last ten minutes。 

     ;I   don't   want   to   go   in�察─  �whined   Reddy  Fox。   ;It's   nice   and   warm  out 

here�察�and I feel a lot better than when I am curled up way down there in 

the dark。; 

     Old Granny Fox turned�察�and her eyes blazed as she looked at Reddy 

Fox。 She didn't say a word。 She didn't have to。 Reddy just crawled into his 

house�察�muttering to himself。 Granny stuck her head in at the door。 

     ;Don't you come out until I come back�察─�she ordered。 Then she added�此�

;Farmer Brown's boy is coming with his gun。; 

    Reddy Fox shivered when he heard that。 He didn't believe Granny Fox。 

He thought she was saying that just to scare him and make him stay inside。 

But he shivered just the same。 You see�察�he knew now what it meant to be 

shot�察�for he was still too stiff and sore to run�察�all because he had gone too 

near Farmer Brown's boy and his gun。 

    But old Granny  Fox had not been fooling when   she told Reddy  Fox 

that   Farmer   Brown's   boy   was   coming   with   a   gun。   It   was   true。   He   was 

coming down the Lone Little Path�察�and ahead of him was trotting Bowser 

the Hound。 How did old Granny Fox know it�拭�She just felt it� �She didn't 

hear them�察�she didn't see them�察�and she didn't smell them�察�she just felt that 

they were coming。 So as soon as she saw that Reddy Fox had obeyed her�察�

she was off like a little red flash。 

     ;It won't do to let them find our home�察─�said Granny to herself�察�as she 

disappeared in the Green Forest。 

     First she hurried to a little point on the hill where she could look down 

the Lone Little Path。 Just as she expected�察�she saw Farmer Brown's boy�察�

and ahead of him�察�sniffing at every bush and all along the Lone Little Path�察�

was Bowser the Hound。 Old Granny Fox waited to see no more。 She ran as 

fast as she could in a big circle which brought her out on the Lone Little 

Path below Farmer Brown's boy and Bowser the Hound�察�but where they 

couldn't   see   her�察  �because   of   a   turn   in   the   Lone   Little   Path。   She   trotted 

down the Lone Little Path a very little way and then turned into the woods 

and   hurried   back   up   the   hill�察  �where   she   sat   down   and   waited。   In   a   few 

minutes she heard Bowser's great voice。 He had smelled her track in the 

Lone Little Path and was following it。 Old Granny Fox grinned。 You see�察�

she was planning to lead them far�察�far away from the home where Reddy 

Fox was hiding�察�for it would not do to have them find it。 

     And    Farmer     Brown's    boy    also  grinned�察   �as  he  heard    the  voice   of 

Bowser the Hound。 

     ;I'll   hunt   that   fox   until   I   get   him�察─  �he   said。 You   see�察  �he   didn't   know 

anything about old Granny Fox�察�he thought Bowser was following Reddy 

Fox。

            XIX Unc' Billy Possum Gives 

                                 Warning 



     ;What's the matter with you�察�Unc' Billy�拭�You look as if you had lost 

your last friend。; It was Jimmy Skunk who spoke。 

    Unc' Billy Possum stopped short。 He had been hurrying so fast that he 

hadn't seen Jimmy Skunk at all。 

     ;Matter enuff�察 �Suh� �Matter   enuff� ─�said   Unc' Billy  Possum�察 �when   he 

could get his breath。 ;Do you hear that noise�拭─�

     ;Sure�察  �I   hear   that   noise。   That's   only   Bowser   the   Hound   chasing   old 

Granny Fox。 When she gets tired she'll lose him�察─�replied Jimmy Skunk。 

;What are you worrying about Bowser the Hound for�拭─�

     ;Bowser the Hound will have to be smarter than he is now befo' he can 

worry me�察�Ah reckon�察─�said Unc' Billy Possum scornfully。 ;It isn't Bowser 

the   Hound�察  �it's   Farmer   Brown's   boy  and   his   gun� ─�Then   Unc'   Billy   told 

Jimmy Skunk how he had been hiding in the woodpile at Farmer Brown's 

and had heard Farmer Brown's boy say that he was going to hunt over the 

Green Meadows and through the Green Forest until he got Reddy Fox。 

     ;What of it�拭─�asked Jimmy Skunk。 ;If he gets Reddy Fox�察�so much the 

better。 Reddy always did make trouble for other people。 I don't see what 

you're   worrying   about   Reddy   Fox   for。   He's   big   enough   to   take   care   of 

himself。; 

     ;Yo' cert'nly are plumb slow in your wits this morning�察�Jimmy Skunk�察�

yo'   cert'nly  are   plumb   slow�   �Supposing   yo'   should   meet   up   with   Farmer 

Brown's boy with that gun in his hands and supposing he had grown tired 

of watching fo' Reddy Fox。 That gun might go off�察�Jimmy Skunk�察�it might 

go off when it was pointing right straight at yo'� ─�said Unc' Billy Possum。 

    Jimmy Skunk looked serious。 ;That's so�察�Unc' Billy�察�that's so� ─�he said。 

;Boys with guns do get dreadfully careless�察�dreadfully careless。 They don't 

seem to think anything about the feelings of those likely to get hurt when 

the gun goes off。 What was you thinking of doing�察�Unc' Billy�拭─�

     ;Just passing the word along so everybody in the Green Meadows and 

in   the   Green   Forest   will   keep   out   of   the   way   of   Farmer   Brown's   boy�察─�

replied Unc' Billy Possum。 

     ;Good idea�察�Unc' Billy� �I'll help you�察─�said Jimmy Skunk。 

     So Unc' Billy Possum went one way�察�and Jimmy Skunk went another 

way。  And   everyone   they   told   hurried   to   tell   someone   else。   Happy   Jack 

Squirrel told Chatterer the Red Squirrel�察�Chatterer told Striped Chipmunk�察�

and    Striped   Chipmunk       told  Danny     Meadow      Mouse。     Danny    Meadow 

Mouse told Johnny Chuck�察�Johnny Chuck told Peter Rabbit�察�Peter Rabbit 

told Jumper the Hare�察�Jumper the Hare told Prickly Porky�察�Prickly Porky 

told Bobby Coon�察�Bobby Coon told Billy Mink�察�Billy Mink told Little Joe 

Otter�察   �Little   Joe   Otter   told  Jerry   Muskrat�察    �and   Jerry   Muskrat     told 

Grandfather Frog。 And everybody hastened to hide from Farmer Brown's 

boy and his terrible gun。 

     By and by Farmer Brown's boy noticed how still it was in the Green 

Forest。   Nowhere   did   he   see   or   hear   a   bird。   Nowhere   could   he   catch   a 

glimpse of anybody who wore fur。             ;That fox must have scared away all 

the other animals and driven away all the birds。 I'll get him� �See if I don't� ─�

muttered   Farmer   Brown's   boy�察  �and   never   once   guessed   that   they   were 

hiding from him。

            XX。 Old Granny Fox Makes a 

                                   Mistake 



     Old Granny Fox was running through the overgrown old pasture�察�way 

up back of Farmer Brown's。 She was cross and tired and hot�察�for it was a 

very warm day。 Behind her came Bowser the Hound�察�his nose in Granny s 

tracks�察�and making a great noise with his big voice。 Granny Fox was cross 

because   she   was   tired。   She   hadn't   done   much   running   lately。   She   didn't 

mind running when the weather was cold�察�but now;Oh dear�察�it is hot� ─�

sighed old Granny Fox�察�as she stopped a minute to rest。 

     Now   old   Granny   Fox   is   very�察  �very   smart   and   very�察  �very   wise。   She 

knows all   the tricks   with which   foxes fool   those who   try to   catch   them。 

She knew that she could fool Bowser the Hound and puzzle him so that he 

wouldn't be able to follow her track at all。 But she wasn't ready to do that 

yet。   No�察  �i
