"Wake up Johnny Chuck! Wake up!" shouted the Merry Little Breeze.

Johnny Chuck opened his eyes. Then he sat up and rubbed them. For
just a few, few minutes he couldn't remember where he was at all.

By and by he sat up very straight to look over the grass and see
where he was. But he was so far from home that he didn't see a
single thing that looked at all like the things he was used to.
The trees were all different. The bushes were all different.
Everything was different. Johnny Chuck was lost.

Now, when Johnny sat up, Reddy Fox happened to be looking over
the Green Meadows and he saw Johnny's head where it popped above
the grass.

"Aha!" said Reddy Fox, "I'll scare Johnny Chuck so he'll wish
he'd never put his nose out of his house."

Then Reddy dropped down behind the long grass and crept softly,
oh, ever so softly, through the paths of his own, until he was
right behind Johnny Chuck. Johnny Chuck had been so intent
looking for home that he didn't see anything else.

Reddy Fox stole right up behind Johnny and pulled Johnny's little
short tail hard. How it did frighten Johnny Chuck! He jumped
right straight up in the air and when he came down he was the
maddest little woodchuck that ever lived in the Green Meadows.

Reddy Fox had thought that Johnny would run, and then Reddy meant
to run after him and pull his tail and tease him all the way
