The Adventures of Johnny Chuck
I. GENTLE SISTER SOUTH WIND ARRIVES
“Good news, good news for every one, above or down below, For Master
Winsome Bluebird's come to whistle off the snow!”
All the Green Meadows and all the Green Forest had heard the news. Peter
Rabbit had seen to that. And just as soon as each of the little meadow
and forest folks heard it, he hurried out to listen for himself and
make sure that it was true. And each, when he heard that sweet voice of
Winsome Bluebird, had kicked up his heels and shouted “Hurrah!”
You see they all knew that Winsome Bluebird never is very far ahead of
gentle Sister South Wind, and that when she arrives, blustering, rough
Brother North Wind is already on his way back to the cold, cold land
where the ice never melts.
Of course Winsome Bluebird doesn't really whistle off the snow, but
after he comes, the snow disappears so fast that it seems as if he did.
It is surprising what a difference a little good news makes. Of course
nothing had really changed that first day when Winsome Bluebird's
whistle was heard on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest, but it
seemed as if everything had changed. And it was all because that sweet
whistle was a promise, a promise that every one knew would come true.
And so there was joy in all the hearts on the Green Meadows and in the
Green Forest. Even grim old Granny Fox felt it, and as for Reddy Fox,
why, Reddy even shouted good-naturedly to Peter Rabbit and hoped he was
feeling well.
