Old Mother Natures plans for good
Quite often are not understood.


1t was a week after Johnny Chuck's
awakening before Peter Rabbit saw
him again. Peter had been so busy
trying to welcome old friends on the
Green Meadows and in the Green For
est that he had not visited the Old
Orchard That morning when Johnny
Chuck had come out to sit on his
doorstep for the first time. he had
seemed to be just about as fat as
he had been when he had gone down
in the fall to sleep for the winter,
and that was very fat, indeed. In
fact. he had been SO fat that he could
hardly waddle.
prised Peter was when he met john
ny Chuck a week later and discovered
that Johnny wasn't fat at all. In
fact, Johnny was thin.
Goodness gracious, what's happen
ed to you?" exclaimed Peter Rabbit.
Nothing E's-happened to me-" grum-
bled Johnny Chuck. excepting that
I've nearly worn the skin off the
soles of my feet hunting for some
thing to eat"
"But-but-you were fat the last
time I saw you and now you are
thin" said Peter.
Huh, OF course. I'm thin. Why
shouldn't / be thin? How can a fell
| low keep fat with nothing to eat?"
growled Johnny Chuck, and it was
quite plain to see that his temper
was no better than on the morning OF
his awakening.
But you kept fat all winter, so
don't see why you couldn't keep fat a
little longer" protested Peter. What
did you do with all that fat?"
What did / do with all that fat?"
repeated Johnny Chuck. What did ]
do with it? What do you suppose /
did with it? L have been living on
it. of course"
Peters long ears flew straight up
| and his eyes opened very wide. DO
you mean to tell me- said he, "that
you've been eating your own fat? ]
don't believe a word of it. Johnny
Chuck You can't stuff me with any
such yarn as that. The idea. The
very idea Of eating your own fat"
| In spite of himself Johnny Chuck
grinned. He couldn't help it. Peter
Rabbit was SO very much in earnest

Il then, of course, it is too

"skimped" or too bunchy.
