Burgess Some people are forever stuck Because they're always out of luck. —Whitefoot the Woodmouse You see, Whitefoot does believe in fuck. He knows that no matter how carefully he may plan a thing, or how much care he may take in do- ing a thing, chance, which is only enother word for luck, may upset verything, It may make thines come about entirely different from t he had expected Now Whitefoot considered that it as bad luck which had led him to house of Bohby Coon. He hadn't siarted to go to Bobhy Coon’s . He htdn't even known where by Coon lived. He had come over looking for a new home for If, and ad run into bby Cdon’s house to get away from Whitey the Snowy Owl. Then he had been frightened almost to death when he discovered that Tobby Coon was there. Now that house of Bobt miight not have had any place which a Mouse could hide. But it did have. Up near the top was a &mall opening into a hollow branch, an opening which with a little work Whitefoot made big enough to pass through. Whitefoot consedered that | this was good luck, In there h was safe. He was safe from Whitey outside and Bobby Coon insi that was good luck But Whitefoot stayed there only long enough for Bobby Coon to go | to sleep again. Just as soon as he was sure that Bobby was asleep he | Durried to get out of Bobby's house. | By this time Whitey the Snowy Owl had gone away, so nothing happened to Whitefoot. He climbed down that tree and hurried away as fast as he could to search for a new home. There were two things to be consid- | ered in the search for that new | home. One was safety; the second | was food. The safest house in the world would be of no use if he must rTun great risk every time he wanted something to eat, So it was that Whitefoot passed | two or three places which looked 89 1f they would make good homes. You see, when he came to look around near them he found nothing to cat. Ye is such a little fellow he cannot travel far in search of food. He was beginning to get d eouraged and a i ened.
