He kept jumping up and shining ut une'

But he didn't offer to bite, for he knew
that Farmer Browns Boy wouldn't let
him do that
When at last they were far enough
into the Green Forest, Farmer Browns
Boy laid Unc' Billy down at the foot OF
q tree and walked away q short dis

Billy all over. Unc' Billy didn't move q
hair. He couldn't have looked more
dead If he had been dead. Finally
Farmer Browns Boy called Flip and
Bowser to him and they started OF
home. Not until they were out Of sight
did Unc' Billy move. Then he grinned,
rolled over onto his feet and began 70
