He drove all about the neighborhood , asking at every house if anything had been seen of Bowser , Nowhere did he get any trace of him . No one had seen him . It was very mysterious . Farmer Brown 's boy had begun to suspect that Bowser had met with an accident somewhere off in the woods and had been unable to get help . It made Farmer Brown 's boy very sad indeed . His cheery whistle was no longer heard , for he did not feel like whistling . At last he quite gave up hope of ever again seeing Bowser . CHAPTER XX WHERE BOWSER WAS When things are at their very worst , As bad , you think , as they can be , Just lay aside your feelings sad ; The road ahead may turn , you see . Bowser the Hound . You remember that Blacky the Crow led poor Bowser to an old road and there left him . Blacky reasoned that if Bowser had any sense at all , he would know that that road must lead somewhere and would follow it . If he did n't have sense enough to do this , he deserved to starve or freeze , was the way Blacky reasoned it out . Of course Blacky knew exactly where the road would lead . Now Bowser did have sense . Of course he did . The minute he found that road , a great load was taken from his mind . He no longer felt wholly lost . He was certain that all he had to do was to keep in that road , and sooner or later he would come to a house . The thing that worried him most was whether or not he would have strength enough to keep going until he reached that house . You remember that he was weak from lack of food , lame , and half frozen .
Poor old XXXXX !
