Every evening old Granny Fox and
Reddy Fox would prowl around the edge

would smell Danny Meadow Mouse where
he had been stealing the bait, and that
would make their mouths water. Then
they would smell Farmer Browns boy

together. But they came every evening
just hoping that some time Peter Rabbit
or Danny Meadow Mouse would grow
Needless and would be caught outside the

Peter and Danny used to enjoy those
visits. 1t was such fun to sit safe and
snug just out of reach in the old brier
patch and tease old Granny Fox and
Reddy Fox. 1 am afraid that some
times Peter and Danny even made hor-
rid faces at them just to make Reddy
Fox lose his temper. Granny Fox was
too wise to do anything so foolish as
that. but Reddy would get so angry
that he would forget all about the braR1-

Peter and Danny Meadow Mouse used to
