“Come on,” said Danny Fox with a wicked grin.
“It’s pretty high up. Come and help me,” said the little rabbit.
Danny Fox walked into the fireplace and stood up on his hind legs. His head came ’way up into the chimney and the soot blinded his eyes. Before he knew what was going to happen, the little rabbit picked up a loose brick and hit him a dreadful hard blow on the head. Down tumbled the wicked old fox and down jumped the little rabbit and out of the Log Cabin, straight away for the dear Old Bramble Patch.
It took Mrs. Rabbit nearly an hour to clean the soot from his little fur jacket. But she didn’t grumble. No indeed! She was only too glad to have her precious bunny boy safe home again.
“NOW I’VE GOT YOU!”
One day Teddy Turtle had a narrow escape from Danny Fox. He was slowly crawling down the Cow Path in the Sunny Meadow when whom should he meet but that old robber. Danny Fox seemed much surprised, but that was only because he was trying to fool the little turtle. You see, Danny Fox had been hiding all the time behind a bush and only came out just when Teddy Turtle crawled by.
“Good morning,” said Danny Fox, with a grin.
“Good morning,” replied Teddy Turtle from inside his little shell house, for as soon as he had seen Danny Fox he had pulled in his head and tail for safe keeping.
“Where are you?” asked Danny Fox. “I don’t see you; I only see your shell house.”
