Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse Go Home Hunting.
No place in all the wide, wide world
Can ever be like home.
And If you make it all yourself
You ne'er will want to roam.

Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse were
home hunting. This. you know, isn't
quite the same as house hunting. Peo-
pie who go hunting for a house in which
to live look for houses which some one
else has built. When they find one usu-
ally they have to build it over. Any
way there are sure to be some things
about it which they would have differ
ent If they could. But when they go
home hunting they just hunt and hunt
until they find just the place where they
want to live and then they build house
to suit themselves. Anyway that is the
way Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
planned to do
1t was great fun, this hunting for a
new home. To be sure, each had home,
Danny in one place and Nanny in an
other. but Danny didn't think Nanny s
home safe any more now that Reddy
Fox had been prowling around it. and
for the same reason he didn't think his
own home was quite safe. 1t might be
safe enough for him, for 1t always had
been. but it wasn't safe enough for
Nanny. That is what comes of loving. a
very great deal. Danny loved Nanny SO
much that what he felt was good enough
and safe enough for him he was sure
wasn't good enough and safe enough for
her. So they decided that they would
make a new home and this would be the
very best home of all. because they
would build it together and live there to-
gether.
