CHAPTER XII BOBBY COON AND REDDY FOX PLAY TRICKS 

It was night. All the little stars were looking down and twinkling and twinkling. Mother Moon was doing her best to make the Green Meadows as light as Mr. Sun did in the daytime. All the little birds except Hooty the Owl and Boomer the Night Hawk, and noisy Mr. Whip-poor-will were fast asleep in their little nests. Old Mother West Wind's Merry Little Breezes had all gone to sleep, too. It was oh so still! Indeed it was so very still that Bobby Coon, coming down the Lone Little Path through the wood, began to talk to himself. 

"I don't see what people want to play all day and sleep all night for," said Bobby Coon. "Night's the best time to be about. Now Reddy Fox--" 

"Be careful what you say about Reddy Fox," said a voice right behind Bobby Coon. 

Bobby Coon turned around very quickly indeed, for he had thought he was all alone. There was Reddy Fox himself, trotting down the Lone Little Path through the wood. 

"I thought you were home and fast asleep, Reddy Fox," said Bobby Coon. 

"You were mistaken," said Reddy Fox. "For you see I'm out to take a walk in the moonlight." 

So Bobby Coon and Reddy Fox walked together down the Lone Little Path through the wood to the Green Meadows. They met Jimmy Skunk, who had dreamed that there were a lot of beetles up on the hill, and was just going to climb the Crooked Little Path to see. 
Who looked after the Breezes?
Old Mother West Wind
