From the doorstep he could look in all directions over the Green Meadows . It had a front door and a hidden back door . Yes , it was a very nice home indeed . But now , all of a sudden , Johnny Chuck became dissatisfied with his home . It was too near the Lone Little Path . Too many people knew where it was . It was n't big enough . The front door ought to face the other way . Dear me , what a surprising lot of faults a discontented heart can find with things that have always been just right ! It was so with Johnny Chuck . That house in which he had spent so many happy days , which had protected him from all harm , of which he had been so proud when he first built it , was now the meanest house in the world . If other people had new houses , why should n't he ? The more he thought about it , the more dissatisfied and discontented he became and of course the more unhappy . You know one can not be dissatisfied and discontented and happy at the same time . Now dissatisfied and discontented people are not at all pleasant to have around . Johnny Chuck had always been one of the best natured of all the little meadow people , and everybody liked him . So Jimmy Skunk did n't know quite what to make of it , when he came down the Lone Little Path and found Johnny Chuck so out of sorts that he would n't even answer when spoken to . Jimmy Skunk was feeling very good-natured himself . He had just had a fine breakfast of fat beetles and he was at peace with all the world . So he sat down beside Johnny Chuck and began to talk , just as if Johnny Chuck was his usual good-natured self .
`` It 's a fine day , '' said Jimmy XXXXX .
