Reddy Fox in "Ryder Rabbit Hears The News"
Johnny Chuck came running up to the edge of the Old Briarpatch quite out of breath. You see, he is so round and fat and roly-poly that to run makes him puff and blow. Johnny Chuck's eyes danced with excitement as he peered into the Old Briar-patch, trying to see Ryder Rabbit. "Ryder! Ryder Rabbit! Oh, Ryder!" he called. No one answered. Johnny Chuck looked disappointed. It was the middle of the morning, and he had thought that Ryder would surely be at home then. He would try once more. "Oh, you Ryder Rabbit!" he shouted in such a high-pitched voice that it was almost a squeal.
