It seemed to him that there was just the least little hint of a smile in the corners of Grandfather Frog's big mouth. "You sit here a minute," he whispered in Johnny Chuck's ear. So Johnny Chuck sat down where he was, which was right where Grandfather Frog could see him by lifting one eyelid just the teeniest bit, and Peter hopped along the bank until he was right behind Grandfather Frog.
Then without the teeniest, weeniest bit of noise, it floated back into the Lone Pine and with it went the plump chicken. Reddy Fox, still with his wicked, selfish smile, trotted back with Billy Mink's duck, but he dropped it in sheer surprise when he discovered that his plump chicken had disappeared. Now Reddy Fox is very suspicious, as people who are not honest themselves are very apt to be.
He was just pretending to be asleep, and all the time he was watching Longlegs out of a corner of one of his big goggly eyes. Very, very slowly and carefully, so as not to make the teeniest, weeniest sound, Longlegs lifted one foot to wade out into the Smiling Pool. Grandfather Frog pretended to yawn and opened his big goggly eyes. Longlegs stood on one foot without moving so much as a feather.
"But all the same," he continued more vehemently, "all the same it's just that little darned word 'probably' that's making all the mess and bother of it because, as far as I can reckon, a woman can stand absolutely anything under God's heaven that she knows; but she just up and can't stand the littlest, teeniest, no-account sort of thing that she ain't sure of.
When I'm rearranging their old mummy collections and cataloguing their old South American birds or shining up their old geological specimens they think I'm wonderful. But when I try to do the teeniest tiniest thing that happens to interest me they call me 'crazy'! So that's why I come 'way out here to this cave to play," she whispered with a flicker of real shyness.
"When my father's got a lame trotting horse, sir, that he's trying to shuck off his hands," she faltered, "he doesn't ever go round mournful-like with his head hanging telling folks about his wonderful trotter that's just 'the littlest, teeniest, tiniest bit lame. Oh no!
Never since he began to have lessons had mother omitted a single letter or cut the study hour down the teeniest little bit. Buddy was afraid of something, but he could not think what it was that frightened him. He began to think seriously about water, and to listen uneasily to the constant lowing of the herd.
Down went the little foot to the floor, and the yellow head drooped over the white apron. "Nothing," mourned Phronsie, "just nothing at all; not even the wee-est teeniest bit of anything do I know how to do. O, dear!" Outside, Jasper was calling to Prince. Phronsie could hear the big dog rushing over the lawn in response, barking furiously as he went. But she did not move.
He is so good-natured and so sunny-hearted that he seldom quarrels with any one. But when he has to fight, there isn't a cowardly hair on him, not the teeniest, weeniest one. No one ever has a chance to cry, "'Fraid cat! Cry baby!" after Johnny Chuck.
"I suppose he is asleep somewhere safe and snug under the snow," grumbled Hooty, "but he might, he just might, be out for a frolic in the moonlight. I believe I'll go down on the meadows and see." Now Hooty the Owl can fly without making the teeniest, weeniest sound. It seems as if he just drifts along through the air like a great shadow.
