Lone Little Path through the wood.
"I thought you were home and fast asleep, Reddy Fox," said Bobby Coon. "You were mistaken," said Reddy Fox. "For you see I'm out to take a walk in the moonlight." So Bobby Coon and Reddy Fox walked together down the Lone Little Path through the wood to the Green Meadows. They met Jimmy Skunk, who had dreamed that there were a lot of beetles up on the hill, and was just going to climb the Crooked Little Path to see. "Hello, Jimmy Skunk!" said Bobby Coon and Reddy Fox. "Come down to the Green Meadows with us." Jimmy Skunk said he would, so they all went down on the Green Meadows together, Bobby Coon first, Reddy Fox next and Jimmy Skunk last of all, for Jimmy Skunk never hurries. Pretty soon they came to the house of Johnny Chuck. "Listen," said Bobby Coon. "Johnny Chuck is fast asleep." They all listened and they could hear Johnny Chuck snoring away down in his snug little bed. "Let's give Johnny Chuck a surprise," said Reddy Fox. "What shall it be?" asked Bobby Coon. |
