Hannah and her friend Mary were bored. They sat around the house and tried to think about what to do. They petted the cat. They drew pictures in Hannah's notebook. They snuck into Hannah's mother's closet to try on her shoes, but Hannah's mother caught them. She said, "You girls need something to do. Let's take a walk to the park!" Hannah and Mary looked at each other, and then jumped up and down happily. "The park sounds great!" said Hannah. "Let's go!" cried Mary. So Hannah's mother packed up a snack of apples and cookies, and they all set off to walk to the park. They walked down the sidewalk, looking at all the interesting things along the way. Mary spotted a squirrel. Hannah saw a yellow bird. Hannah's mother pointed out the pretty yellow flowers growing in front of Mr. Smith's house. When they got to the park, Hannah's mother spread out a picnic blanket and the snack. Hannah and Mary ran around chasing butterflies for a little time, and then sat down to eat their snacks.

Problem: CHAPTER XXV

BLACKY CALLS ON REDDY FOX

Saying what you mean, and meaning what you say Are matters quite as different as night is from the day.

_Bowser the Hound._

Blacky the Crow wasted no time with Old Man Coyote after he heard Old Man Coyote laugh. There was a note in that crazy laugh of Old Man Coyote's that told Blacky he might just as well talk to the rocks or the trees about helping Bowser the Hound. Old Man Coyote had led Bowser into his trouble, and it was quite clear that not only did he have no regrets, but he was actually glad that Bowser was not likely to return.

"You're a hard-hearted old sinner," declared Blacky, as he prepared to fly in search of Reddy Fox.

Old Man Coyote grinned. "It is every one for himself, you know," said he. "Bowser would do his best to catch me if he had the chance. So if he is in trouble, he can stay there for all of me."

It didn't take Blacky long to find Reddy Fox. You see, it was so early in the morning that Reddy had not retired for his daily nap. Like Old Man Coyote, he was just returning from a night's hunt when Blacky arrived.

"Hello, Reddy!" exclaimed Blacky. "You certainly are looking in mighty fine condition. That red coat of yours is the handsomest coat I've ever seen. If I had a coat like that I know I should be so swelled up with pride that I just wouldn't be able to see common folks. I'm glad you're not that way, Reddy. One of the things I like about you is the fact that you never allow your fine coat to make you proud. That is more than I can say for some folks I know."

question: (Oprah.com) -- When Chicagoan Tammy Jo Long visited Savannah, Georgia, ten years ago, she was delighted by its fountain-filled parks, corner cafes -- and grand architecture.

Long had always been a design aficionado, but the Italianate and Victorian homes she encountered in Savannah became "an obsession," she says. "I saw a mansion with enormous cornices and cast-iron window surrounds, and I was hooked." So hooked, in fact, that she decided to buy a second home there, closing the deal on her next visit.

Her learning curve:

Long was determined to restore her new house to its original glory. Though she'd remodeled a few kitchens and bathrooms over the years, a historically accurate renovation that did justice to the Savannah architecture she loved was daunting.

But the all-nighters spent poring over floor plans and scouring eBay for doorknobs paid off: Every detail of the home -- from the crown moldings to the brass finger pulls -- is as it was in the 1800s. Yearning to share her handiwork, Long turned the home into a vacation rental. Soon, enchanted out-of-towners were eagerly booking their stays.

Her business model:

In 2003 Long quit her job in sales and bought and restored four more homes, traveling between Savannah and Chicago (where she and her ex-husband share custody of their 9-year-old son). "Some of the properties had been vacant for 20 years," Long says. "They had rats you could put a saddle on."
