Jle was whistling as he dug. It was Blacky (he Crow who discovered what he was doing and right away Blackv hastened to tell all the other little people. As many as dared lo found hiding places from which they could watch him. They were more puzzled than ever. What was Farmer Brown's bov digging those holes for? But Farmer Brown’s hoy didn’t tell them, lie didn't tell them for one very good reason—he didn’t know that they wanted to know. He just kept right on digging holes. They were not very big holes, and they “Well," demanded Sammy .Jay, don't you think that is great news?" were not very deep holes. Beside each hole he threw up a little pile of earth. It was hard work to dig so many holes and every once in a while he stopped to rest. But he didn't stop whistling. When Farmer Brown's Boy whistles lie Is happy. All the little people In the Green For est and the Green Meadows know this. So they knew that he was happy in this work. But what were these holes for? Sammy jay asked Blacky tlie Crow. Blacky the Crow asked Reddy Fox. Reddy Fox asked Mrs. Reddy. Mrs. Reddy asked Bcbhv Coon. Bobby Coon asked Cnc' Billy .Possum. L'nc' Billy Possum asked Peter Rabbit, asked Jumper the Hare. Jumper the Hare asked I.lghtfoot the Deer. And each shook his head and said he didn't know. When Farmer Brown's Boy went home that night he left many little holes in the Old Pasture. Every one of those holes was visited just as soon as he was out of sight. But each little hole was like every other little hole, and there was nothing to be learned from them. The next day Farmer Brown s Boy came back and dug more little holes. It was all very puzzling, very puzzling Indeed. Dig ger the Badger turned up his nose at those holes, lie didn't think very much of them. They were not deep enough to he good for anything. "If he wants to dig a hole why don’t he dig a real hols?" demanded Digger the Badger. But this was a question no one could answer, so no one tried. All around where he h*d cleared away the brush and the brambles and burned them Farmer Brown* Hoy dug those little holes. And. *• In the beginning, all the (line he whls tied while he worked. II* seemed to be very happy over somethtlng. lie worked hard. Pigging holes i» hard work. He didn't work every day, nor did be work all day. But whenever he had a little spare time he waa sure to be found up In the Old Fea ture digging those little holes. Everybody in the Green Forest, on the Green Meadows and in the Old Orchard, knew about those little holes. Everybody was puzzled. Not one could guess what it all meant. Even those who were not in the habit of going to the Old Pasture found some excuse to go up there now. They had to see for themselves what was going on there. And the opinion of all was that Farmer Brown's Boy was spoiling the Old Pasture. Even those who loved and trusted him nest felt that way about it. Thp next story: “Great News from the Old Pasture."
