FO X A N D MR. B A D G E R
OUNG FOX had never had a real
home. H e had lived In th e tall
grass n e a r th e m arsh, w here th e ducks
w ere often to be found, ever since he
w as old enough to ta k e ca re of him ­
self.
B ut one day he th o u g h t It w as tim e
to ta k e to th e woods and find a home,
so he s ta rte d out tenem ent hunting.
O f course he did not m ind a t all
looking In a t every place he found.
T here w as Mr. B adger's h o m e ; he
looked In a t th a t, b u t It happened th a t
Mr. B. had n o t got up, so Mr. Fox
decided not to ta rry there.
Mr. Old R ab b it had le ft his door
open, too, and In th e re T oung F ox
looked, but as Mr. Old R a b b it w as
Y
{¿ r y z o s f

still In possession, T oung F ox looked
f u r th e r :
“Oh 1 I ’ll find som e one aw ay from
hom e o r som e d eserted hom e before
long,” th o u g h t T oung F ox a s he
tro tte d thro u g h th e woods.
I t did not m a tte r to him a t all
w heth er th e house w as v a c a n t fo r
good o r n o t If only It wras v acan t
w hen he got there, fo r Young F ox did
not like to build a hom e; It w as too
m uch w ork.
H e w ent Into Mr. B e a r’s house, b u t
he w ent rig h t out as soon as he could,
fo r Mr. B e ar looked well able to dis­
p ute w ith him, and Young Fox did not
w ant trouble—he w anted to live In th e
woods.
“Now th is looks nice to me,” he said
a s h e cam e to a place w here th e re
seem ed to be no one a t home, and
a f te r looking around T oung F ox de­
cided to stay, so he locked th e door
and pulled down th e sh ad es su d w ent
to bed.
Now th is p lsc e happened to be th e
hom e of an o th er Mr. B adger—a very
peaceful fellow —seldom aw ay from
hom e In th e daytim e, b u t th is being a
cloudy day h e had gone fo r a stroll.
W hen Mr. B ad g er retu rn ed and
found his door locked, he began to
w onder who w as Inside, fo r a s he
peeked In a t th e keyhole, he could
see th a t th e key w as In th e lock.
Now Mr. B ad g er had been locked
out before, so he Ju st got a lad d er
and clim bed u p to th e chim ney and
slid down.
T oung F ox w as asleep and m aking a
noise ab o u t It, and Mr. B adger tip ­
toed to his bedroom an d looked In and
th e re in his very own bed w as Toung
Fox, fa s t asleep.
F irs t h e opened th e door w ide and
then h e w ent to th e bed and gave
T oung F ox a h ard shake.
“L et m e alone,” h e said, opening
one eye to m ake su re it w as n ot Mr,
Dog.
“G et o u t of my bed,” said Mr. Bad­
g e r ; “th is is my house.”
“P ossession Is n in e p o in ts of th e
law ,” rep lied Young Fox.
"Do you see th ese m arks, my
badge?” said Mr. B adger, pointing to
th e black s trip e on each side of his
w hite head.
"Yes, I see them ,” said Young Fox.
“All y o u r fam ily a re w hite-headed, all
old, I suppose.”
“I ’ll show you,” said Mr. B adger,
an d w ith a sp rin g h e w as on th e bed
an d took hold of one of Young F o x ’s
ears, w hich w as stick in g up.
“O h l le t go of my e a r ! ” cried T oung
Fox. Jum ping up and try in g to shake
off Mr. B adger, b ut It w as no u se ; his
te e th w ere faste n ed In Young F o x ’s
e a r fo r keeps.
Y oung F o x ran to th e door and out
in th e w oods crying an d Jumping» b u t
still Mr. B ad g er clung to his ear, and
n o t u n til h e w as q u ite a d istan ce from
th e house did he let go.
W hen h e a t la s t u n fasten ed his
Jaw s h e called a f te r T oung Fox, who
w as r u n n in g : “T h a t Is w hy I got th e
badge, because I have th e finest se t of
Jaw s In th e w orld, an d If ev er yon
com e aro u n d h ere again, I will show
you how long I can hold on w ith
them .”
