the place to come to every time. Poor little chap, you're all of a
tremble. I guess I know how you feel when a Weasel is after you. I guess
you feel just as I felt when I dreamed that that monster was after me.
My, but you certainly did give me a scare when you touched my face!" He
gently stroked Happy Jack as he talked, and Happy Jack let him.
"Breakfast!" called a voice from downstairs.
"Coming!" replied Farmer Brown's boy as he put Happy Jack on the table
by a dish of nuts and began to scramble into his clothes.
CHAPTER XXVII
HAPPY JACK IS AFRAID TO GO HOME
Safety first is the best rule to insure a long life.
_Happy Jack._
Happy Jack didn't dare go home. Can you think of anything more dreadful
than to be afraid to go to your own home? Why, home is the dearest place
in the world, and it should be the safest. Just think how you would feel
if you should be away from home, and then you should learn that it
wouldn't be safe for you to go back there again, and you had no other
place to go. It often happens that way with the little people of the
Green Meadows and the Green Forest.
