"It must be nice not to be airaid. or anybody." said Mrs. lvihblet.

Here in the barn he Iound life too easy to be interesting. it was a place to visit, not to live in, he told Mrs. Whitetoot.-He had invited Cousin Nibbiet to go home with him and see for himsell what real living was like.

Nibbict was seeing and not lik- ing at all what he saw. Cousin Whitetoors way at life didn't nit him at all’. In fact he thought it was dreadful. There was nothing dull about it. It -was exciting. too exciting. It seemed to him that it just one dread!-ul fright aiter an- other. When at long last he was solely back in the barn he told Mrs. Nibblet about it. -

"Why any one should want to live the way Cousin Whiteto-it lives I can‘t understand,” he de- clared. "I didn't Ieel sale a minute. I don't know. Now that Robber the _Rat and his gang have left here the only enemies we have to watch for are that Cat, and at night that Owl who has taken to living here 0! late.“ .

“Isn't that enough?" squeaked Mrs. Nibblet. -

-"For me. yes replied Nibblet. “But Cousin Wliitetoot has to watch for both at these and a lot 01' others we never even see."

"Who?” asked Mrs. Nibblct.

‘Raddy Fox for one." replied Nlbblet. “He is a bad one."

“Never heard of him,” squeaked Mrs. Nibblet.

"He never comes in here. And there is a‘ relic-av named Jimmy Skunk.. He sometimes gets under- neath here but he doesn't come up inside. He‘s the one we have smelled and didn't like the smell. He's very iond of Mice. I saw him hunting for Cousin Meadow Mouse. They say he isn't afraid of any- body."

"It must be nice not to be alraid oi’ anybody.” said Mrs. Nlbblet "Are there any others whiteloot must keep his eyes open for?"

"I should say so!" exclaimed Nibbfet. "There are more than I can remember. some in daytime and some after dark. and some in both. There urc Billy Mink. and Shadow the Weasel. and Bobby Coon to watch lfOI‘ on the ground. And to watch for up above are little Hawks and big Hawks, little Owls and big Owls. Biacky the Crow, Butcher the Shrike and-"

"I've never hear or any. of those but that small Owl who~ls living here." interrupted Mrs. Nibblet. she meant spooky the Screech

i.

“it is a wonder to me that Whitefoot is alive, yet he thinks his way oi life is better than ours," declared Nibblet. "Know what?"

“What?" asked Mrs. Nibblet.

“I don't think Whiteioot is smart. 11 he was he would move in here and live the way we do. He doesn’t know how to live." replied Nibblet. "No. my dear he doesn't how."

Over in his home at the edge of the Green Forest Whiteioot was thinking the very same thing oi Nibblet.
