place to live IN peace and comfort, and
at last he came to the edge of Farmer
Browns cornfield. OF course he didn't
know it was a cornfield. He thought the
young corn was simply another kind of
grass. He ran out into the field and he
actually hoped and skipped. for it was
SO good to have room enough. You see.
he had been SO long struggling through
thick grass, or running in narrow little
paths. that to have room enough to Jump
in was enough to make him forget all
his troubles. Had he been older and
wiser he would have known that it was
very dangerous thing for Meadow
Mouse to venture out in such an open
place in broad daylight. and he would
have ventured there only at night But
Little Mite still had much to learn. The
warm beams of jolly, round. bright Mr..
Sun poured down between the rows of
corn. and Little Mite just forgot every
thing but play. He dug little in the
soft earth He ran and danced and
jumped He tried to catch his funny
little short tail and chased it round and
round
So little by little he got farther and
farther out in the cornfield and away
from the safe. thick cover OF the Green
Meadows. Right in the midst of the
maddest chase after that little short tail
shadow passed over him. sudden
chill of fear clutched his heart. He looked
up. There was a great bird sailing over
head. He didn't know who it was, but
he guessed. He had heard Danny Mea-
dow Mouse tell about fierce Redtail the
Hawk and something told linn that this
great bird with the keen eyes was Red
tail. Now if Little Mite had been under
something he probably would have sat
perfectly still. which would have bekn
the right thing to do. But he was right
out in the open, and at the sight OF
those hungry looking eyes a great terror
took possession of him and he just
couldn't keep still. as he should have
done. With little faint squeak of fright
he ran.
Now. the instant he ran Redtail saw
him. With a few strong beats of his
great wings he was right over Little
Mite. He half closed his wings and shot |
down with his great cruel claws stretched
wide. Something prompted Mite to dodge
just then, as he had learned TO do in the
games at home. Redtail missed him and
had to fly back up in the sky to try
again. Twice this happened. and then
quite suddenly Redtail gave up the chase
and flew away. You see, Mite had been
running straight toward what looked like
a man, and Redtail dared go no nearer.
And that is how a scarecrow saved the
life of Little Mite Meadow Mouse.
