Danny's First Adventure.

Danny Meadow Mouse had started
forth adventuring. That is. he had
started out to see something moro of
the Great World than the little bit
where his home was. and l suspect that
down inside that little gray, warm
coat of his he felt very much as Mr.
Columbus did when he sailed away 10
discover America. OF course he didn'C
know he was going to discover Amer
lea He didn't know there WAS such u
place as America
Nanny Meadow Mouse had bravely
Wihked back the tears as she hadc
Danny goodbye. Danny might not b.,
afraid. but she was. .Sh.. was afraid
for HIM. But she didn't let Danny sve
those tears. So Danny started forth
in the moonlight as braYely as you
please He chose TO travel AT night b.
cause he felt that it would be safer
Hooty the owl was the only one to
watch out from above and ttooty was
over in the Green Forest Danny knew
that because he had waited until he
heard Hootys voice over there Granny
and Reddy Fox had spent the after
noon hunting ON the Green Meadow

good time 10 travel for another ret
son. Moonlight makes a great many
Black Shadows. when there is no
moonlight the Black shadows are so
crowded together that all is darkness.
but when gentle Mistress Noon Is shin

on the Green Meadows and th.. Green
Forest the Black Shadows are scatter

So Danny felt thai Everything wa.
quite as it should he for him TO start
out to see the Great World
For quite a long way Danny followed
one of his own private little paths anu

familiar and the unknown he tingIed
all over with the funniest feeling, a
miXed-up kind of feeling. little scary.
little eager. little doubtful and II
whole lot eXpectant. You see as long
as he was in that familiar little path
he felt that if there should appear any
sudden danger he would know just
where to hide and what to do. But the
instant he left that little path he was
q stranger in strange place. He
didn't know whore theft WAS a single
hiding-place and il danger should ap-
pear he would have to trust wholly /"
his wits to save his life. 1t was very
exciting.
While he was in his private little
path he could run fast as he pleased.
but now he had to go rather slowly.
He had to pick his way where the grass
stems Were not to close together.
Then. too he tried to keep in the Black
Shadows. Being such a little fellow he
couldn't see over the grass and SO never
could be sure that the way was clear
and safe. SO. feeling safer in the
friendly Black Shadows. he kept to
these as closely as he could. Doing
this meant of course. that he couldn't
keep TO Il straight line, so by the TIM
he was SO tired he just had To resi-
Danny really wasn't so very far out IN
The Great World after all. although il
seemed to him that he had Travelled
ever and ever 50 far.
When he grew tired that he fell
that he had got to rest he kept his
eyes open for a place in which TO hide.
1t wouldn't do 10 simply sit down any
where because some enemy might hap
pen along. and if he was too tired to
run and there was no hiding place near
that would be the end of him. So.
though every step made his legs and
feet ache. he kept on until he came To
a pile of brush which Farmer Brown
had made while clearing out some
bushes which had grown along a fence.
Danny crept under the edge of this
and sat down quite out of breath and
very tired. Hardly had he done so
when he heard soft. very soft foot
steps. He peeped out and there in the
moonlight was Old Man Coyote. He
was trotting along with his sharp ears
cooked and his keen nose smelling OF
the ground He was hunting for din
ner. Danny's heart beat fast he
wa tched. Old Man Coyote had passed
the pile of brush and Danny was be-
ginning tc breathe easier. Suddenly
Old Man Coyote turned and looked
straight toward him. Then he trotted
straight toward that pile of brush. You
see. he knew that pile of brush lik.
that might easily hide a good dinner
and he didn't intend to overlook any
thing. Danny crawled farther under
the brush and his heart went thump.
thump. thump.
