When he got through , there was n't any new home . Then Johnny Chuck brushed his coat carefully , shook the sand out of his trousers , wiped his hands and started off for his old home . And this time he did n't take his special hidden path , for Johnny Chuck did n't care who saw him go . Late that afternoon , Johnny Chuck sat on his old doorstep , with his chin in his hands , watching Old Mother West Wind gathering her Merry Little Breezes into the big bag in which she carries them to their home behind the Purple Hills . '' ` Whisper a secret to a friend and you shout it in the ear of the whole world . ' Now what did Grandfather Frog mean by that ? '' thought Johnny Chuck . `` Now I did n't tell anybody but Jimmy Skunk and Jimmy Skunk did n't tell anyone but Peter Rabbit and -- and -- '' Then Johnny Chuck began to chuckle and finally to laugh . '' ` Whisper a secret to a friend and you shout it in the ear of the whole world . ' My gracious , what a loud voice I must have had and did n't know it ! '' said Johnny Chuck , wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes . And the next day Johnny Chuck started to make a new home . Where ? Oh , that 's Johnny Chuck 's secret . And no one but jolly , round , red Mr. Sun has found it out yet . VIII JOHNNY CHUCK 'S GREAT FIGHT Johnny Chuck sat on the doorstep of his new home , looking away across the Green Meadows . Johnny Chuck felt very well satisfied with himself and with all the world . He yawned lazily and stretched and stretched and then settled himself comfortably to watch the Merry Little Breezes playing down by the Smiling Pool . By and by he saw Peter Rabbit go bobbing along down the Lone Little Path . Lipperty , lipperty , lip , went Peter Rabbit and every other jump he looked behind him .
`` Now what is Peter XXXXX up to ? ''
