private
little paths. Like a flash Danny was out and scurrying along the
little path. He dodged into another and presently into a third,
which brought him to a tangle of barbed wire left there by Farmer
Brown when he had built a new fence. Under this he was safe.

"Phew!" exclaimed Danny, breathing very hard. "That was the
narrowest escape yet! But I guess I'll get that special grass seed I
started out for, after all."

And he did, while to this day Reddy Fox wonders how Danny got out of
the old tomato can without his knowing it.

And so you see what temper does
For those who give it rein;
It cheats them of the very thing
They seek so hard to gain.
