He never said anything to his mother about Farmer Green's turkeys. But
the next time he saw Jasper Jay Fatty told him exactly what he thought
of him.

"Ha! ha!" Jasper Jay only laughed. And he did not seem at all surprised
that Fatty had fallen into trouble. To tell the truth, he was only sorry
because Fatty had escaped. Jasper Jay did not like Fatty Coon. And he
had told him about the forty fat turkeys because he hoped that Fatty
would get caught if he tried to steal one of them.

"Wait till I catch you!" Fatty said.

But Jasper Jay only laughed harder than ever when Fatty said that. He
seemed to think it was a great joke. He was most annoying.

FATTY MEETS JIMMY RABBIT


For once Fatty Coon was not hungry. He had eaten so much of Farmer

"Where are you going, Fatty?" Jimmy Rabbit asked.
