`` Ho ! '' cried Farmer Brown 's boy . `` Brer Fox was hunting Chucks . I 'll keep my eye on this , and if Mr. Chuck makes any trouble in my garden , I 'll know where to catch him . '' XIX JOHNNY CHUCK 'S PRIDE Ever since Farmer Brown 's boy and Reddy Fox had found his new house in the far corner of the old orchard , Johnny Chuck had been worried . It was not that he was afraid for himself . Oh , my , no ! Johnny Chuck felt perfectly able to take care of himself . But there was Polly Chuck ! He was terribly afraid that something might happen to Polly Chuck . You see she was not big and strong like him , and then Polly Chuck was apt to be careless . So for a while Johnny Chuck worried a great deal . But Reddy Fox did n't come again in daytime . You see Bowser the Hound had given him such a scare that he did n't dare to . He sometimes came at night and sniffed hungrily at Johnny Chuck 's doorway , but Johnny and Polly were safe inside , and this did n't trouble them a bit . And Farmer Brown 's boy seemed to have forgotten all about the new house . So after a while Johnny Chuck stopped worrying so much . The fact is Johnny Chuck had something else to think about . He had a secret . Yes , Sir , Johnny Chuck had a secret .
