"You're afraid."
"No, I'm not, either."
"Yes, you are, too."
"Fraidy cat! Fraidy cat!
Never catch a mouse or rat."
"I can; I can catch mice. And I can walk on the fence, too. I'll show you."
"Walk to the post and back and I'll give you a chicken bone I found down back of the rain-barrel."
"All right; it's a promise. Now watch me."
Fluffy set out along the top of the fence, walking very slowly and carefully, one paw before the other.
"Hurry up! hurry up! No fair walking so slowly," said Jazbury.
