"If I find her I'll fix her." Jennie Junebug heard everything he said. She was lying hidden in the grass near-by. And she wouldn't have come out for anything. "I'll keep an eye out for her," Solomon Owl announced. "I come to the meadow often, a-mousing." Jennie Junebug kept still as a mouse, herself, until Solomon had gone back to the woods.
Ladybug reached the point where she couldn't any longer stand by silently and let Jennie Junebug riddle the leaves. "Something will have to be done!" Mrs. Ladybug declared to her friends. "I can't compel Jennie Junebug to stop. She's too big for me to handle. "I'm going to have a talk with her," said Mrs. Ladybug. SOME busybody went straight to Jennie Junebug and told her what Mrs.
And then he leaped into the air and started away. BANG! He hadn't flown longer than forty-six seconds when Jennie Junebug floored him again. "I simply couldn't resist hitting you once more!" she said sweetly. "And now, hurry! Or I shall never be able to let you leave me." Freddie Firefly needed no more urging.
If Freddie Firefly had been older and wiser he would have known, in the beginning, that his first collision with the fat lady was no accident. The whole Junebug family were alike in one respect: preferring to fly at night, whenever they saw a light anywhere they made straight for it as fast as they could fly. Sometimes they landed with a crash against one of the farmhouse windows.
She scrambled to her feet and rose into the air again, angrier than she had ever been before in all her life. "I'll thank you " she spluttered. "You'll thank me if I'll do that again, eh?" said Jennie Junebug, interrupting her rudely. "Very well! Here goes!" This time she gave Mrs. Ladybug a terrific blow.
He was quite different from Jennie Junebug and Mehitable Moth, who dearly loved a light at night, and would dash joyously into any they saw. There was only one light that Chirpy Cricket was always glad to see. He thought Freddie Firefly's flashes looked very cheerful as they twinkled about the farmyard.
Ladybug said: "Wouldn't you like to come with me while I look for Betsy?" "I must go home now, thank you!" said Mehitable. And she hurried away without another word. But Jennie Junebug spoke up at once and said she would be delighted to accompany Mrs. Ladybug. "Really," Jennie confided to her companion, "it's a good thing to have backs as hard and slippery as yours and mine.
"We'll have to look in the meadow. And it may take a long time to find Betsy there." Jennie Junebug yawned right in Mrs. Ladybug's face. "Then I can't come with you," she said. "I'm getting terribly sleepy again. And since I expect to be up all night, I'm going to take a nap." Mrs. Ladybug looked at Jennie with great disapproval as that fat young person crept under a leaf and went to sleep.
And I thought maybe you'd enjoy meeting her and making her keep still. But I had no idea you would do her any harm." "Bless you!" cried Jennie Junebug. "I wouldn't harm a hair of her head!" And she roared with laughter, for she had made a joke. You see, Mrs. Ladybug had no hair. She was quite bald. Well, Mrs. Ladybug found Jennie Junebug that very evening.
And the dreadful creature actually expected him to fly for her so that she might have the pleasure of bowling him over every time he rose into the air. Such a practice was disagreeable, to say the least. Indeed, Freddie Firefly thought it was positively dangerous, for him. "Come! Come!" Jennie Junebug urged him playfully, even while he lay on the ground trying to get his breath.
