CHAPTER IV: Grandfather Frog's Plan
Just as Old Mother West Wind and her Merry Little Breezes came down
from the Purple Hills, and jolly, round, red Mr. Sun threw his
nightcap off and began his daily climb up in the blue sky,
Great-Grandfather Frog climbed up on the Big Rock in the Smiling
Pool. Early as he was, all the little people who live along the
Laughing Brook and around the Smiling Pool were waiting for him.
Bobby Coon had found two traps set by Farmer Brown's boy, and
Billy Mink had almost stepped in a third. No one felt safe any more,
yet no one knew what to do. So they all waited for the advice of
Great-Grandfather Frog, who, you know, is accounted very, very wise.
Grandfather Frog cleared his throat. "Chugarum!" said he. "You must
find all the traps that Farmer Brown's boy has set."
"How are we going to do it?" asked Bobby Coon.
"By looking for them," replied Grandfather Frog tartly.
Bobby Coon looked foolish and slipped out of sight behind his mother.
