Johnny Chuck was unhappy. Here II
was the glad springtime, when everybody
Is supposed to be the very happiest, and
Johnny Chuck was unhappy. Why was
he unhappy? Well. he hardly knew him
self. He had slept comfortably all the
long winter. He had awakened very,
very hungry, but now he had plenty 10
eat. All about him the birds were sing
ing or busily at work building new homes
And still Johnny Chuck felt unhappy. IL
was dreali Jul to feel this way and not
have any good reason for 1T.
One bright morning Johnny Chuck sat
on his doorstep, watching Drummer the
Woodpecker building a new home in the
old apple tree. Drummer's red head ne"
back and forth, back and forth. and his
sharp bill cut out tiny bits OF WOOD. lt
was slow work. 1t was hard work But
Drummer seemed happy, very happy m
deed. 1t was watching Drummer that
started Johnny Chuck to thinking about
his own home He had always thought
1t a very nice home. He had built 1t just
as he wanted it. From the doorstep ne
could look in all directions over the
Green Forest 1t had front door and
hidden ba lex door Yes, ii was very nice
house indeed.
But now. all of sudden. Johnny Chuck
became dissatisfied with his nome. II
was too near the Lone Little Pain TOO
many people knew where il was. IL
wasn't big enough. The front door ought
to face the other way. Dear me, what
surprising lot of faults disc1nlsnieu
heart can find with things that nave al
WAYS been just right. 1t was so with
Johnny Chuck. That house in which ne
had snent SO many happy days. which
had protected him from all harm, OF
which he had been so proud when he first
built it. now was the meanest mouse In
the world If other people had new
houses why shouldn't he? The more ne
thought about it the more dissatisfied and
disconnected he became. and or course
the more unhappy You know one can
not be dissatisfied and disconnected ana
ha ppy at the same time.
Now dissatisfied and discontinued peo-
ple are not at all pleasant to have
around Johnny Chuck had always been
one of the best natured of all the little
meadow people, and everybody liked him.
So Jimmy Skunk didn't know quite what
to make of 1t when ne came down the
Lone Little Path and found Johnny
Chuck SO out of sorts that he wouldn I
even answer when spoken to. But Jimmy
Skunk was feeling very good-natured HIM
self He had just had fine breakfast of
fat beetles, and he was at peace with all
the world. So he sat down beside john
ny Chuck and began to talk just as il
Johnny Chuck were his usual good-na-
tured self.
'It's dne day." said Jimmy Skunk.
