He lost his appetite. In vain Farmer Brown's boy brought him the fattest nuts and other dainties. HE LOST HIS APPETITE IN VAIN FARMER BROWN'S BOY BROUGHT HIM THE FATTEST NUTS AND OTHER DAINTIES
e while he was awake. He used to watch Farmer Brown's boy and wish with all his might that he could make him understand how dreadful it was to be in a prison. But Farmer Brown's boy couldn't understand what Chatterer said, no matter how hard Chatterer tried to make him. He seemed to think that Chatterer was happy. He just didn't understand that not all the good things in the world could make up for loss of freedom--that it is better to be free, though hungry and cold, than in a prison with every comfort. Chatterer had stood it pretty well and made the best of things until Sammy Jay had found him, and Reddy Fox had made fun of him, and Peter Rabbit had peeped at him from behind the old stone wall. The very sight of them going where they pleased and when they pleased had been too much for Chatterer, and such a great longing for the Green Forest and the Old Orchard filled his heart that he could think of nothing else. He just sat in a corner of his cage and looked as miserable as he felt.  HE WAS A PRISONER AND HE COULDN'T FORGET IT FOR ONE MINUTE WHILE HE WAS AWAKE HE USED TO WATCH FARMER BROWN'S BOY AND WISH WITH ALL HIS MIGHT THAT HE COULD MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND HOW DREADFUL IT WAS TO BE IN A PRISON BUT FARMER BROWN'S BOY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT CHATTERER SAID NO MATTER HOW HARD CHATTERER TRIED TO MAKE HIM HE JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT NOT ALL THE THINGS IN THE WORLD COULD MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS OF FREEDOM THAT IS IT IS BETTER TO BE FREE THOUGH HUNGRY AND COLD THAN IN A PRISON WITH EVERY COMFORT CHATTERER HAD STOOD IT PRETTY WELL AND MADE THE BEST OF THINGS UNTIL SAMMY JAY HAD FOUND HIM AND REDDY FOX HAD MADE FUN OF HIM AND PETER RABBIT HAD PEEPED AT HIM FROM BEHIND THE OLD STONE WALL THE VERY SIGHT OF THEM GOING WHERE THEY PLEASED AND WHEN THEY PLEASED HAD BEEN TOO MUCH FOR CHATTERER AND SUCH A GREAT LONGING FOR THE GREEN FOREST IN THE OLD ORCHARD FILLED HIS HEART THAT HE COULD THINK OF NOTHING ELSE HE JUST SAT IN A CORNER OF HIS CAGE AND LOOKED AS MISERABLE AS HE FELT
