`` You 're nothing but a great big bully ! '' yelled Blacky the Crow . But no one did anything to help Peter Rabbit 's baby brother , for Reddy Fox is so much bigger than any of the rest of them , except Bobby Coon , that all the little meadow people are afraid of him . But Reddy Fox just laughed at them , and nipped the long ears of Peter Rabbit 's little brother so hard that he cried with the pain . Now all were so intent watching Reddy Fox torment the baby brother of Peter Rabbit that no one had seen Johnny Chuck coming down the Lone Little Path . And for a few minutes no one recognized the furious little yellow-brown bundle that suddenly knocked Reddy Fox over and seized him by the throat . You see it did n't look a bit like Johnny Chuck . Every hair was standing on end , he was so mad , and this made him appear twice as big as they had ever seen him before . `` Coward ! Coward ! Coward ! '' shrieked Johnny Chuck as he shook Reddy Fox by the throat . And then began the greatest fight that the Green Meadows had ever seen . Now Johnny Chuck is not naturally a fighter . Oh my , no ! 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 XXXXX 's little brother .
