Reddy danced with pain and anger.
Then he lost his temper complete
ly, a very foolish thing to do, as it
always is. He hit the old can and
away it rolled, with Danny Meadow
Mouse inside. This seemed to make
Reddy angrier than ever. He sprang
after it and hit it again. Then he
batted it first this way and then
that way, growing angrier and an
grier. And all the time Danny Mead
ow Mouse managed to keep inside,
although he got a terrible shaking
up.
Back and forth, across the patch
Of short grass Reddy knocked the
old can, and he was in such a rage
that he didn't notice where he was
knocking it to. Finally he sent it
spinning into the long grass on the
far side Of the open patch close to
one of Danny's private little paths.
Like a flash Danny was out and
scurrying along the little path. He
lodged into another and presently
into third, which brought him to
tangle of barbed wire, left there
by Farmer Brown when he had built
new fence. Under this he was
safe.
"PheW!' exclaimed Danny,
breathing very hard. "That was the
narrowest escape of all! I guess I'll
get that special grass seed started,
out for after ALL"
And he did, while to this day Red
dy Fox wonders how Danny got
out of the old tomato can without
him knowing it.

Danny didn't answer. The fact is,
he was too frightened to answer.
Besides, he didn't know what he
could do. So he just kept still, but
his bright eyes never once left Red
dy's cruel face. For all his fright
Danny was doing some hard think
ing. He had been in tight places be-
fore and had learned never to give
up hope. Something might happen
to brighten Reddy away. Anyway,
Reddy had got to get him out of the
old can before he would admit
that he was really caught.
For long time Reddy lay there
licking his chops and saying all the
things he could think of to brighten
poor Danny Meadow Mouse. At last
he grew tired of this and made up
his mind that it was time to end it
and Danny Meadow Mouse at the
same time. He thrust his sharp
nose in at the opening in the end
of the old can, but the opening was
too small for him to get more
than his nose in, and he only
scratched it on the sharp edges with
out so much as touching Danny.
"rn pull him OUT" said Reddy,

Reddy yelped with pain and pulled
it out in a hurry. Presently he
tried again with the other paw. Dan
