Straight toward the little pile of
leaves in the Green Forest under
which Danny Meadow Mouse was
hiding walked Buster Bear. His
little eyes, for his eyes are little
compared with his great size, were
fixed right on that little pile OF
leaves. Danny was certain that they
were fixed on his own small gray
person. Why else should Buster
look straight at him and walk
straight toward him?
AS matter Of fact. Buster didn't
see him at all. OF course not.
Danny was hidden under those
leaves. Buster couldn't have seen
him had he known Danny was
there and tried to see him. And he
didn't know he was there. A fat
Meadow Mouse was the last person
in the world Buster Bear expected
to find over in that part of the
Green Forest. His thoughts were
not on Meadow Mice, or any other
Mice. for that matter. They were
wholly on beechnuts. He Is very
fond Of beechnuts, is Buster Bear,
and it was to look for beechnuts
that he had come to that particular
part of the Green Forest that par
ticular night. You see 1t was the
part of the Green Forest where
the beech trees grow.
So Buster Bear wasn't thinking
of anything but beechnuts as he
walked toward that little pile of
leaves and Danny Meadow Mouse.
He was making q noise deep down
in his throat. Danny thought he
was growing and the sound would
have frightened him still more only
he was already as frightened as 1t
was possible to be. Buster wasn't
growing. He was talking to him
self.
