But he left the claw behind and had a dreadfully sore toe as a result.
Then they buried the trap deep down in the mud and started to look
for another.
All around the Smiling Pool and along the Laughing Brook their
cousins and uncles and aunts and friends were just as busy, and
every once in a while some one would have just as narrow an escape
as Little Joe Otter. And all the time up at the farmhouse Farmer
Brown's boy was planning what he would do with the skins of the
little animals he was sure he would catch in his traps.
CHAPTER VI: Farmer Brown's Boy Is Puzzled
Farmer Brown's boy was whistling merrily as he tramped down across
the Green Meadows. The Merry Little Breezes saw him coming, and they
raced over to the Smiling Pool to tell Billy Mink. Farmer Brown's
boy was coming to visit his traps. He was very sure that he would
find Billy Mink or Little Joe Otter, or Jerry Muskrat, or perhaps
Bobby Coon.
Billy Mink was sitting on top of the Big Rock. He saw the Merry
Little Breezes racing across the Green Meadows, and behind them
he saw Farmer Brown's boy.
