Farmer Browns Boy Sets Trap Before a lesson they are taught You'll find some people must be caught.
 Farmer Browns Boy

It seems that way, It certainly does. There are people who can not be taught a thing so long as they have their freedom and can do Just as they please. They must be caught before they can be taught
 Now all this time that Mir. and Mrs. Grouse and other little people of the Green Forest were living in such fear of Terror the Goshawk. Farmer Browns Boy. some Of whose chickens Terror had caught, was watching for chance to give Terror a lesson he would not soon forget. He kept his gun handy.
 If he belonged here it would be different" said Farmer Browns Boy, "but he doesn't belong here. If food is scarce up where he does belong I'm sorry. but that isn't any reason why should lose my chick ems or why the little people Of the Green Forest should live in such fear all the time He probably could get a living up where he be- longs if he tried, but it Is easier for him to get a living down here; so he has come down. If I could just sting him a few times with shot he might learn to go away and stay"
 But Farmer Browns Boy got no chance to sting" Terror. Terror was too smart for that He knows a terrible gun when he sees one. He knows just how far it will shoot And. though he is bold. Terror is smart enough not to run too great B risk. So it was in vain that Farmer Browns Boy tried to get near enough to Terror to sting him with shot from that terrible gun. He had put ln small shot. for he didn't want to kill Terror. for Farmer Browns Boy dislikes to kill anything,
 IL was in vain that Farmer Browns Boy watched and waited to teach Terror the Goshawlt lesson. Finally he changed his plans. That fellow is too smart for me-" said Farmer Browns Boy. He Is too smart for me to get a shot at I've got to outwit him some other way I'll trap him. That's what I'll do. I'll set some traps for him If I can once catch him it will put an end to lot of trouble"
 So Farmer Browns Boy set about his plan of trapping Terror the GoshaWk He recalled that several times he had seen Terror sitting on top of certain telephone pole, where he was safely beyond danger from a terrible gun, but from which point he could watch the chicken yard. That's the place." said Farmer Browns Boy "Ill set a trap right on top Of that pole"
 So Farmer Browns Boy got out one of the traps with which he used to catch muslrat He climbed to the top of the telephone pole and there he set and fastened the trap. Then he turned two or three chick ens loose in his chickenyard, for he had been keeping them shut up of gun close at hand. sat down just within the barn door, where he could watch
 NOW. MT. Goshawk," said he, If [ know anything about you and your ways, you are going to get the great est surprise of your life. Sooner or later you'll see those chickens, YouIl come over for look around to see what the chances are for catching one. Youll alight on that telephone pole. and your eyes will be so full of chicken that you will not see that trap at all. 1f 1 catch you today I shall be surprised. But, whether today or tomorrow, I'm go- ing 10 get you. just feel 1t in my bones, IT this trap doesn't work I'll set one or two over in the Green
