Little Stories for Bedtime
JOHNNY CHUCK RECEIVES CALLERS

The morning after gentle Sister
South Wind arrived on the Green
Meadows Peter Rabbit came hopping
and skipping down the Lone Little
Path from the Green Forest. Peter
Just was happy. 1t was in the air.
Peter had to stop every few minutes
Just to kick up his heels and try to
jump over his own shadow. He had
felt just that way yer since gentle
Sister South Wind arrived.
I simply have to kick and dance:
! cannot help but gaily prance!
Somehow I feel 1t in my toes
Whenever gentle South Wind blows.
So sans Peter Rabbit as he hoped
and skipped down the Lone Little
Path. Suddenly he stopped right in
the middle of tho verse. He sat up
very straight and stared down at
Johnny Chuck's house. Some one was
sitting on Johnny Chuck's doorstep.
It looked like Johnny Chuck. No, it
looked like the shadow of Johnny
Chuck. Peter rubbed his eyes and
looked again. Then he hurried just as
fast as ne could. lipperty-lipperty-lip.
The nearer he got the less like Johnny
Chuck looked the one sitting on john
ny Chuck's doorstep. Johnny Chuck
had gone to sleep round and fat and
roly- poly-so fat he could hardly
waddle. This fellow was thin. even
thinner than Peter Rabbit himself.
He waved a thin hand to Peter.
Hello, Peter Rabbit: I told you
