Excerpt: ...shut in. I watched my chance, and three times I got out when the little door was not quite closed. Twice I was caught and put back. In the pleasant weather, of course, I went to the top of the ladder, and when it was going to rain I would go down again.

And, friends, the best way I can ever repay your kindness to me, is to tell you to never, never, never, never go near the farm-house." And they all answered, "We never will." 101 THE DAY WHEN THE GRASS WAS CUT. There came a day when all the meadow people rushed back and forth, waving their feelers and talking hurriedly to each other. The fat old Cricket was nowhere to be seen. He said that one of his legs was lame and he thought it best to stay quietly in his hole. The young Crickets thought he was afraid. Perhaps he was, but he said that he was lame.
