The little goodness way down deep inside had come out of hiding . But of course Johnny Chuck did n't know this , and over in his new house in the far corner of the old orchard , he and Polly Chuck were worrying and worrying , for they felt sure that now every one would know their secret , and it would n't be safe for the dear little baby Chucks to so much as put their funny little noses outside the door . XXII JOHNNY CHUCK IS KEPT BUSY Johnny Chuck is naturally lazy . You see , Johnny has very simple tastes and usually he is contented . He does not have to go far from his own doorstep to get all he wants to eat . He does not have to hunt for his food , as so many of the little meadow and forest people do , and so he has a great deal of time to sit on his doorstep and watch the world go by and dream pleasant daydreams and grow fat . Now people who do not have to work usually become lazy . It is the easiest habit in the world to learn and the hardest to get over . And so , because he seldom has to work , Johnny Chuck quite naturally is lazy . But Johnny can work when there really is need of it . No one , unless it is Digger the Badger or Miner the Mole , can dig faster than Johnny Chuck . And when there is real need of working , Johnny works with a will . When he was a very tiny Chuck , old Mother Chuck had taught him this : `` When work there is that must be done Do n't fret and whine and spoil the day ! The quicker that you do your work The longer time you 'll have to play . '' Johnny never has forgotten this , and when it is really necessary that he should work , no one works harder than he does . But he always first makes sure that it is necessary work and that he will not be wasting his time in doing foolish , unnecessary things . And now Johnny Chuck was the busiest he had ever been in all his life . If he felt lazy these beautiful spring days , he did n't have time to think about it . No , Sir , he actually did n't have time to remember that he is naturally lazy .

So Johnny Chuck was busy , so busy XXXXX he hardly had time to get enough to eat .
