Jimmy Skunk has SO little fear of
anybody and is so Independent because
of this that he is apt to be inQutsitive
about things which don't concern him
in the least. Inquisitiveness is. you
know. one form of idle curiosity. 1t is
curiosity about the affairs of other peo-
pie. Jimmy always has been rather in
auisitive about things at Farmer
Browns house. That is largely be-
cause he knows that everybody there
has SO much respect for his little bag
Of scent that they never interfere with
him. Even Bowser the Hound keeps at
a respectful distance from Jimmy
Skunk.
So whenever Jimmy hasn't anything
in particular to do he goes up to Farm
er Browns to see what he can discover
about the house or the barn or the hen
house. Occasionally he discovers some
thing good to eat. And always he
learns something about these queer
two-legged creatures called men and
the way they live. It was on one of
these trips to Farmer Browns early in
the evening that Jimmy discovered q
cellar window open. He poked his head
inside. 1t was the first time Jimmy
inside Farmer Browns house. 1t was
dark in there. OF course. 1t was rath-
err dark in the cellar even in daytime.
and quite black at night. But Jimmy
Skunk doesn't mind darkness. In fact,
he prefers it, He can see quite we'll
enough to suit him. He can smell just
as well in the darkness as in the light
