Farmer Browns boy. But Little Pete
didn't know that, and his eyes looked as
if they would pop right out of his head.
for he had never before seen one of these
erect two-legged creatures. and he didu [
know whether it would be best TO run or

frightened that he didn't feel as If he
could run if he wanted to. Somehow his
ers felt terribly weak and wobbly. Then,

The Nighthawk never to run until he was
sure that running was safer than sitting
still. and as yet he wasn't sure.
Nearer and nearer came this terrible
