XIV A NEW HOME AT LAST Home , no matter where it be , Or it be big or small , Is just the one place in the world That dearest is of all . Johnny Chuck was thinking of this as he worked with might and main . It was a new house that he was building , but already he felt that it was home , and every time he thought of it he felt a queer little tugging at his heart . You see , while it was his home , it was Polly Chuck 's home , too , and that made it doubly dear to Johnny Chuck , even before it was finished . And where do you think Johnny was building his new home ? It was clear way over on the edge of Farmer Brown 's old orchard ! Yes , Sir , after all the fuss Johnny Chuck had made over any other Chuck living on the Green Meadows , and after driving the old gray Chuck back to the Old Pasture , Johnny Chuck had left the Green Meadows himself ! It was n't of his own accord that Johnny Chuck had left the Green Meadows . No , indeed ! He loved them too well for that . But he loved Polly Chuck more , and although he had grumbled a little , he had followed her up to the old orchard , and now they were going to stay there . Sometimes Johnny shivered when he thought how near were Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown 's boy and Bowser the Hound . He had never been so far from his old home on the Green Meadows before , and it was all very strange up here . It was very lovely , too . Besides , it was in this very old orchard that Polly Chuck had been born , and she knew every part of it . Johnny felt better when he found that out . So he set to work to build a home , and this time he meant business . Polly Chuck could change her mind as many times as she pleased ; that was going to be their home and that was where they were going to live . Now Johnny Chuck had grown wise in the ways of the world since he first ran away from the home where he was born . Twice since then he had built a new home , and now this would be better than either of the others .
He paid no heed to Polly , when she pouted because he did not dig where she wanted him XXXXX .
