"I think you've got the best place on the Green Meadows for a house,"
said Jimmy, pretending to admire the view.

Johnny scowled harder than ever.

"And such a splendid house!" said Jimmy. "I wish I had one like it."

"I'm glad you like it! You can have the old thing!" snapped Johnny
Chuck.

"What's that?" demanded Jimmy Skunk, opening his eyes very wide.

"I said that you can have it. I'm going to move," replied Johnny
Chuck.

Now he really hadn't thought of moving until that very minute. And he
didn't know why he had said it. But he had said it, and because he is
an obstinate little fellow he stuck to it.

"When can I move in?" asked Jimmy Skunk, his eyes twinkling.

"Right away, if you want to," replied Johnny Chuck, and swaggered off
down the Lone Little Path, leaving Jimmy Skunk to stare after him as
if he thought Johnny Chuck had suddenly gone crazy, as indeed he did.
