"She spent the remainder of the month of March, and the beginning ofApril, in laying up stores of provision, and in enlarging the insideof her house. "The Spring began with some beautiful warm days, and everything lookedcheerful and gay; the crocusses were all in flower, and the primroses, and snow-drops, with some early violets. Downy was rejoiced when shesaw the daisies in the orchard begin to shew their white heads abovethe grass, and she took many a frisk out to enjoy the sunshine, andwas q...uite happy and content. "One fine evening as she was returning to her house, she saw acreature much like a weasel, only somewhat smaller, which she knew tobe a mousehunt, by what she had heard of them: he was prowling alongclose by her tree, in hopes of catching her; he smelt about some time, and at last went in. Poor little Downy was in a sad fright; she knewnot what to do, for she saw his head peeping out of her hole, and hiscunning black eye looking round in every direction. [Illustration] "When little Downy saw the mousehunt take possession of her house, sheknew she must not venture there again, and was in great distress, asto where she should pass the night securely; at last she found a holein the bank, and into this she crept, though very much alarmed forfear of her enemy's discovering her; she dared not go to sleep at allthat night; nor did she stir out next day, till forced by hunger toseek for food; she did not see any thing of the mousehunt, but sheresolved to leave the orchard and seek a safer spot for her newhabitation.
