Johnny Chuck was ready for him and he was quicker than the little dog . His sharp teeth closed on one of the little dog 's ears , and he held on while with his stout claws he scratched and tore . The little dog , who was young and foolish and had n't yet learned how to fight , could n't get hold of Johnny Chuck anywhere . Then he tried to shake Johnny Chuck off , but he could n't , because Johnny held on to that ear with his sharp teeth . `` Kiyi-yi-yi-yi ! '' yelled the little dog , for those teeth hurt dreadfully . `` Kiyi-yi-yi-yi ! '' Over and over they rolled and tumbled , the little dog trying to get away , and Johnny Chuck holding on to the little dog 's ear . Finally Johnny had to let go to get his breath . The little dog sprang to his feet and started for home across the Green Meadows as fast as he could run . Johnny Chuck shook himself and grinned , as he heard the little dog 's `` Kiyi-yi-yi '' grow fainter and fainter . `` I 'm glad it was n't Bowser the Hound , '' muttered Johnny Chuck , as he started towards the old stone wall . There he found Polly Chuck peeping out at him , and all of a tremble with fright . `` My , how brave you are ! '' said Polly Chuck . `` Pooh , that 's nothing ! '' replied Johnny Chuck .
