"You'd better go back home at once," she advised him. "There are bears on Blue Mountain. Sometimes they come down this way. Only last week I had an adventure with one in the back pasture." She did not tell Grunty that she had run away from Cuffy Bear, down the hillside. "A bear," said the Muley Cow, "would be delighted to meet a tender little pig like you."
So Grunty Pig expected to climb a tree! Mr. and Mrs. Robin gave each other a merry look. It was all too funny for words. "Umph!" said Grunty Pig. "You won't laugh when I'm in your tree top." "How are you going to get up here?" Jolly Robin asked him, with a wink at Mrs. Robin. "Are you going to fly?" "No!" Grunty Pig said. "No!" "Then you're going to climb," cried Mrs. Robin.
It calls attention to your best point. And if you keep on making as much noise in the world as you do now, maybe people won't notice that you're a bit undersized. You certainly sound as big as any little shote I ever saw or heard." So that was settled though Grunty Pig didn't care one way or another. He seemed to be interested in nothing but food.
Everybody spoke about the tall corn that we nailed to the barn last fall. And I'm sure that folks would admire your tail." When Spot spoke of Farmer Green's cutting off his tail, Grunty Pig winced. But as the old dog talked on and on Grunty forgot the painful part of the plan.
And, tearing it open, he devoured the nuts with relish. For a few moments his action struck Jasper Jay dumb. That blue-coated rascal turned to Frisky Squirrel, who clung to a limb near-by. "Well, did you ever?" Jasper gasped. And then, having found his voice, Jasper began to use it on Grunty Pig. Now, Jasper Jay was a wild fellow.
Jasper Jay called me names because he was safe in the tree. If he hadn't had that tree to help him he'd never have dared say what he did. "To tell the truth, I am a bit out of patience with that beech tree," Grunty confessed. "It played me a mean trick.
"Those crows are up to some mischief," Farmer Green declared. "You don't suppose do you? that they're teasing that pig?" Well, Johnnie Green was willing to go and find out. And sure enough! he found Grunty in the cornfield. Johnnie Green picked him up, tucked him under his arm plastered with dried mud as he was and brought him in triumph to the barn. Farmer Green laughed when he saw Grunty Pig.
Not until feeding time came did anyone discover that Grunty Pig was gone from the pen. It may seem strange that neither his mother nor any of his brothers and sisters missed him. But when there are seven children in a family it is no wonder that one of them could slip away without having his absence noticed. It is specially easy, in such a large family, to overlook the littlest. If Mrs.
And leaving the old gentleman to dig himself out of sight, Jolly Robin hurried home to his wife. Mrs. Robin was glad to see him. She knew, as soon as she caught a glimpse of his face, that he had good news for her. And she needed cheering, poor soul! For Grunty Pig was beneath the tree again, digging away in a most businesslike fashion. "Let him dig!" Jolly Robin whispered to his wife.
