You ca n't lose Old Man Coyote . No , Sir , you ca n't lose Old Man Coyote , and it is of no use to try . So , stopping two or three times to hunt a little by the way , Old Man Coyote trotted back . He managed to pick up a good meal on the way , and when at last he reached his home in the Old Pasture he was feeling very well satisfied with the Great World in general and himself in particular . He grinned as only Old Man Coyote can grin . `` I do n't think any of us will be bothered by that meddlesome Bowser very soon again , '' said he , as he crept into his house for a nap . `` If he had drowned in that river , I should n't have cried over it . But even as it is , I do n't think he will get back here in a hurry . I must pass the word along . '' So a day or so later , when Sammy Jay happened along , Old Man Coyote asked him , in quite a matter-of-fact way , if he had seen anything of Bowser the Hound for a day or two . `` Why do you ask ? '' said Sammy sharply . Old Man Coyote grinned slyly . `` For no reason at all , Sammy . For no reason at all , '' he replied . `` It just popped into my head that I had n't heard Bowser 's voice for two or three days . It set me to wondering if he is sick , or if anything has happened to him . '' That was enough to start Sammy Jay straight for Farmer Brown 's dooryard . Of course Bowser was n't to be seen . Sammy hung around and watched .
Twice he saw Farmer XXXXX 's boy come to the door with a worried look on his face and heard him whistle and call for Bowser .
