It was just that way with Blacky now . The longer he thought , the meaner his action in calling Farmer Brown 's boy looked . It was one thing to try to steal those eggs himself , but it was quite another matter to try to have them stolen by some one against whom Hooty had no protection whatever . `` If it had been any one but Hooty , you would have done your best to have kept Farmer Brown 's boy away , '' said the little voice inside . Blacky hung his head . He knew that it was true . More than once , in fact many times , he had warned other feathered folks when Farmer Brown 's boy had been hunting for their nests , and had helped to lead him away . At last Blacky threw up his head and chuckled , and this time his chuckle was good to hear . `` I 'm glad that Farmer Brown 's boy did n't take those eggs , '' said he right out loud . `` Yes , sir , I 'm glad .

I 've learned that Farmer Brown 's boy is n't as much to be feared as he used to be . I 've learned that Hooty is n't as stupid as I thought he was .
