We can't have you in our corn crib." With that he went into the house. WE CAN'T HAVE YOU IN OUR CORN CRIP WITH THAT HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE
well," thought Chatterer, "it doesn't matter. I can get it and hide it to-morrow morning." Now a corn-cob is a very simple thing. Farmer Brown's boy knew where there was a whole pile of them. He added to that pile every day, after shelling enough corn for the biddies. So it would seem that there was nothing about a corn-cob to make him open his eyes as he did that morning, when he saw the one left by Chatterer the Red Squirrel. But you see he knew that a bare corn-cob had no business inside the corn-crib, and suddenly those scattered grains of corn had a new meaning for him. "Ha, ha!" he exclaimed, "A thief has been here, after all! I thought we were safe from rats and mice, and I don't see now how they got in, for I don't, I really don't, see how they could climb the stone legs of the corn-crib. But some one with sharp teeth certainly has been in here. It must be that I have left the door open some time, and a rat has slipped in. I'll just have to get after you, Mr. Rat or Mr. Mouse.   YES SIR HE FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT TILL HE REACHED HIS HOME IN THE OLD ORCHARD OH WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER I CAN GET IT AND HURT IT TO MORROW MORNING NOW CORN COB IS A VERY SIMPLE THING FARMER BROWN'S BOY KNEW WHERE THERE WAS A WHOLE PILE OF THEM HE ADDED TO THAT PILE EVERY DAY AFTER SHELLING ENOUGH CORN FOR THE BIDDIES SO IT WOULD SEEM THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT THE CORN COB TO MAKE HIM OPEN HIS EYES AS HE DID THAT MORNING WHEN HE SAW ONE LEFT BY CHATTERER THE RED SQUIRREL BUT YOU SEE HE KNEW THAT A BARE CORN COB HAD NO BUSINESS INSIDE THE CORN CRIB AND SUDDENLY THOSE SCATTERED GRAINS OF CORN HAD A NEW MEANING FOR HIM HA HA A THIEF HAS BEEN HERE AFTER ALL I THOUGHT WE WERE SAFE FOR RATS AND MICE AND I DON'T SEE NOW HOW THEY GOT IN FOR I DON'T SEE HOW THEY COULD CLIMB THE STONE LENGTH OF THE CORN CRIB BUT SOMEONE WITH SHARP TEETH CERTAINLY HAS BEEN IN HERE IT MUST BE THAT I HAVE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN SOMETIME AND A RAT HAS SLIPPED IN I'LL JUST HAVE TO GET AFTER YOU MISTER RAT OR MISTER MOSS
