Farmer Brown 's boy was puzzled . He counted them again . Then he counted them a third time . He began to think there must be something wrong with his counting . After the fourth count , however , he was forced to believe that not a single one was missing . If Reddy Fox had been relieved when he discovered that henyard gate open , Farmer Brown 's boy was equally relieved when he found that not a single biddie had been taken . When two people are relieved at the same time , it is called mutual relief . But there was this difference between Reddy Fox and Farmer Brown 's boy : Reddy knew all about what had happened , and Farmer Brown 's boy could n't even guess . He went all around that henhouse , trying to find a way by which Reddy Fox had managed to get in . Of course , he discovered that the little sliding door where the biddies go in and out of the henhouse was open . He guessed that this was the way by which Reddy had entered . But this did n't explain matters at all . He knew that the gate had been latched when he entered the henyard that morning . How had Reddy managed to get into that henyard with that gate closed ? To this day , Farmer Brown 's boy is still wondering . CHAPTER XIX WHERE WAS BOWSER THE HOUND ? A good Hound never barks on a cold trail . Bowser the Hound . Where was Bowser the Hound ? That was the question which was puzzling all the little people who knew him .
Also it was puzzling Farmer XXXXX 's boy and Farmer Brown and Mrs. Brown .
