Reddy Fox watched Blacky the Crow grow smaller and smaller until he was just a black speck in the distance . Finally he disappeared . Reddy looked very thoughtful . He looked that way because he was thoughtful . In fact , Reddy was doing a lot of hard thinking . He was thinking about those chickens Blacky had told him of . The more he thought of them , the hungrier he grew . You see , Reddy had been having rather a hard time to get enough to eat . `` Yes , Sir , '' said Reddy to himself , `` I would go a long , long distance to get a good plump hen . I wish I knew just where that farm is that that black rascal talked about . I wonder if he has gone that way now . If I were sure that he has , I would make a little journey in that direction myself . But I 'm not sure . That black rascal flies all over the country . That farm may lie in the direction he has gone now , and it may be in quite the opposite direction . Somehow I 've got to find out in just which direction it is . '' Reddy yawned , for he had been out all night , and he was sleepy . He decided that the best thing he could do would be to get a good rest . One must always be fit if one is to get on in this life . The harder one must work , the more fit one should keep , and a proper amount of sleep is one of the most necessary things in keeping fit .
So XXXXX curled up to sleep .
