Up in a tall pine tree close by sat Hooty the Owl. He had been laughing, but he had stopped now. Disappoint-ment had taken the place of laugh-ter. It had been very funny to see Old Man Coyote and Reddy and Granny Fox ducking and dodging and twisting and turning as they tried to get out of the way of the flying sticks as Buster Bear tore the old brush pile to pieces.
