Reddy Fox in "Ryder Rabbit Makes A Discovery"

Ryder Rabbit rubbed his eyes once more and wrinkled up his eyebrows. Farmer Brown's boy certainly had a gun over one shoulder and a spade over the other. Where could he be going down the Lone Little Path with a spade? Farmer Brown's garden certainly was not in that direction. Ryder watched him out of sight and then he hurried down to the Green Meadows to tell Johnny Chuck what he had seen. My, how Ryder's long legs did fly! He was so excited that he had forgotten how sleepy he had felt a few minutes before.
