Eeddy Fox IS smart. Every one considered the smartest of all the people on the Green Meadows or in the Green Forest. Yes, sir, he has so. But smart as he is, Reddy does things sometimes which are not smart at all Every once in while he does something that really is stupid. You'll find that generally true of people who are considered smart.
