`` And ever since that long ago time , when the world was young , the Coon family has remembered that experience of Mr. Coon , who was second cousin to old King Bear , and that is why Bobby Coon washes his food , travels about at night , and sleeps all winter , '' concluded Grandfather Frog , fixing his great goggle eyes on a foolish green fly headed his way . `` Oh thank you , thank you , Grandfather Frog , '' cried the Merry Little Breezes as they danced away over the Green Meadows . But one of them slipped back long enough to get behind the foolish green fly and blow him right up to Grandfather Frog 's big lily pad . `` Chug-a-rum , '' said Grandfather Frog , smacking his lips . XIII THE MERRY LITTLE BREEZES HAVE A BUSY DAY Old Mother West Wind came down from the Purple Hills in the shadowy coolness of the early morning , before even jolly , round , red Mr. Sun had thrown off his rosy coverlids for his daily climb up through the blue sky . The last little star was blinking sleepily as Old Mother West Wind turned her big bag upside down on the Green Meadows and all her children , the Merry Little Breezes , tumbled out on the soft green grass . Then Old Mother West Wind kissed them all around and hurried away to hunt for a rain cloud which had gone astray . The Merry Little Breezes watched her go . Then they played hide and seek until jolly , round , red Mr. Sun had climbed out of bed and was smiling down on the Green Meadows . Pretty soon along came Peter Rabbit , lipperty-lipperty-lip . `` Hello , Peter Rabbit ! '' shouted the Merry Little Breezes . `` Come play with us ! '' `` Ca n't , '' said Peter Rabbit . `` I have to go find some tender young carrots for my breakfast , '' and away be hurried , lipperty-lipperty-lip . In a few minutes Jimmy Skunk came in sight and he seemed to be almost hurrying along the Crooked Little Path down the hill . The Merry Little Breezes danced over to meet him . `` Hello , Jimmy Skunk ! '' they cried . `` Come play with us ! ''
Jimmy XXXXX shook his head .
