He is so good-natured and so sunny-hearted that he seldom quarrels with any one . But when he has to fight , there is n't a cowardly hair on him , not the teeniest , weeniest one . No one ever has a chance to cry , '' ` Fraid cat ! Cry baby ! '' after Johnny Chuck . So though , like all the other little meadow people , he was usually just a little afraid of Reddy Fox , because Reddy is so much bigger , he forgot all about it as soon as he caught sight of Reddy Fox tormenting Peter Rabbit 's little brother . He did n't stop to think of what might happen to himself . He did n't stop to think at all . He just gritted his teeth and in a flash had Reddy Fox on his back . Such a fight was never seen before on the Green Meadows ! Reddy Fox is a bully and a coward , for he never fights with any one of his own size if he can help it , but when he has to fight , he fights hard . And he certainly had to fight now . `` Bully ! '' hissed Johnny Chuck as with his stout little hind feet he ripped the bright red coat of Reddy Fox . `` You great big bully ! '' Over and over they rolled , Johnny Chuck on top , then Reddy Fox on top , then Johnny Chuck up again , clawing and snarling . It seemed as if news of the fight had gone over all the Green Meadows , for the little meadow people came running from every direction -- Billy Mink , Little Joe Otter , Jerry Muskrat , Striped Chipmunk , Jimmy Skunk , old Mr. Toad . Even Great-Grandfather Frog , who left his big lily pad , and came hurrying with great jumps across the Green Meadows . They formed a ring around Reddy Fox and Johnny Chuck and danced with excitement . And all wanted Johnny Chuck to win .
Peter XXXXX 's poor little brother , so sore and lame from the knocking about from Reddy Fox , and so frightened that he hardly dared breathe , lay flat on the ground under a little bush and was forgotten by all but the Merry Little Breezes , who covered him up with some dead grass , and kissed him and whispered to him not to be afraid now .
