Now Sammy Jay had no quarrel with Johnny Chuck . Oh , my , no ! He would have told you that he liked Johnny Chuck . Everybody likes Johnny Chuck . But just as soon as Sammy Jay found Johnny Chuck 's new house , he began to plan mischief . He did n't really want any harm to come to Johnny Chuck , but he wanted to make Johnny uncomfortable . That is Sammy Jay 's idea of fun -- seeing somebody else uncomfortable . So he slipped away to a thick hemlock-tree in the Green Forest to try to think of some plan to tease Johnny Chuck and make him uncomfortable . Of course he knew that Johnny had hidden his new house in the corner of Farmer Brown 's old orchard because he wanted it to be a secret . He did n't know why Johnny wanted it a secret and he did n't care . If Johnny wanted it a secret , it would be fun to tell everybody about it . As he sat wondering who he should tell first ; he saw Reddy Fox trotting down the Lone Little Path . `` Hi , Reddy Fox ! '' he shouted . Reddy looked up . `` Hello , Sammy Jay ! What have you got on your mind this morning ? '' said Reddy . `` Nothing much , '' replied Sammy Jay . `` What 's the news ? ''
XXXXX grinned .
