Why they never would learn anything here Everyone to his own place and our place is on the grass of the beautiful Green Meadows under the blue blue sky Now we've got to give that pesky black troublemaker the slip There is on thing sure and that is that we have learned a lot about Black Pussy since we have been up here She'll sit apd watch the place where we ran in and never once think that we may leave some other way Getting away from here is going to be easy" For awhile Danny and Nanny kept perfectly still resting and getting their breath Then taking care not to make the teeniest weeniest sound Danny peeped out Just as he expected there sat Black Pussy with her eyes fixed on the place where Danny and Nanny had disappeared under the pile Of old rails Down inside Danny chuckled Then he signaled Nanny and they tiptoed where they could tiptoe and crawled where they had to crawl until they reached the other side of the pile of old rails and not once did they make a sound to reach the ears of Black Pussy The way Danny peeped out seemed clear and he boldly scampered out Nanny right at his heels Both laughed as they thought of Black Pussy patiently watching on the other side of that pile of rails Straight to the nearest fence they scampered for Danny had learned Poor Pa when he was very young that it is along fences that tall weeds and bushes grow and grass is not cut but grows tall Then when cold Weather comes they fall over and make a matted tangle under which a Meadow Mouse often can travel far without once being seen by watchful eyes above It was a long long journey they had before them Danny knew that it wouldn't have seemed long to you or to me but to such little folks as Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse it was a very Ions journey indeed So they wisely decided not to hurry too fast In fact they stopped to rest very very often They would scamper along a few reet tenn stop under cover of a mass of old dead grass while Danny looked and listened and looked to make sure that the way was clear for the next run It was at one of these times while they were resting that there was a sudden snuffing sound that sent cold shivers oil over them It was Bowser the Hound who happened along just then and stopped to sniff in the very patch of grass under which they were hiding You know it is Bowser's way to sniff at everything as he goes along 'Quick!" cried Danny and darted out from under the grass and into a little hole among the roots of a tree Nanny followed and there they panted with excitement as Bowser clumsily tried to dig them out and couldn't because of the roots Bowser didn't really want them he just tried to catch them for the fun of it and when he found he couldn't he soon gave up and trotted off As soon as they were sure he was out of the way they started on Presently they came to a little open place among the bushes along the fence and Danny started to scamper across Just in the neck of time he saw something that made him turn and run back so suddenly that he ran right into Nanny and knocked her over "What is it?" asked Nanny anxiously "Mr Blacksnake taking a sun bath" whispered Danny his teeth chattering with fright "Don't make a sound Nanny not a sound!"
