Sammy Jay had left the dear Old
Brier Patch after telling Peter Rab
bit and little Mrs. Peter that Reddy
F*tx and Mrs Reddy had some ba
bies and on this account were more
dangerous than ejer. and had flown
straight over to* warn Ibinny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse. Danny and
Nanny had been Just as grateful as
Peter and t Mrs Peter It made
Samruy feel good. You know, It a!
ways makes one fer»| good to do a
kind deed to others a,nd have them
grateful for It
When Sammy left Danny and
Nanny down on r .fhe Or* at Meadows
he had It In mind to fly qver to the
Oreen Forest and warn Whltefont
the Wood Mouse to keep his eyes
extra wide <>j>en for Reddy Fox and
Mrs Rcddv F he flew along h**
saw something that for the tim* be
ing quite put Whitefoot out of hia
head. If was Farmer Brown's Boy
at work along th** old *'on*- wall
on th*' edge of the Old Orchard. !!•
was digging.
“That's funny." thought Sammy
“1 wonder what he Is digging for
there. I wonder if b*- is trying to
dig open somebody's house 1
thought lie had got over doing
things like that, hut you never can
tell about these men folk*- No, sir

So Samm> flew over to the Old
Orchard without making a sound
and found a plane in an old apple
t rec where he could watch Farmer
Brown’s Boy He found a number
of oth* r li'iie people doing the same
thing In fad, all the little people
of the Old Orchard were watching
Farmer Brown's Boy. If didn’t take
Sammy long to discover that. Wel-

i Sammy had already noticed that
I Farmer Brown’s Boy was whistling

I he Is happy or doing something he
