noon
Now , it was not long before Johnnie Green spied Frisky Squirrel loitering about the field . And he made up his mind that that young squirrel was altogether too bold . So Johnnie Green rigged up a trap , which he made from an old box , a few sticks , and a bit of string . And one noon , while the men were eating their lunch under some trees a little way from the threshing-machine , Frisky Squirrel was just reckless enough to steal up and try to get his luncheon too , by eating some of the wheat-kernels . He noticed a tempting little heap of kernels , right beside a little box . And he had just stopped to eat them when all at once the box toppled over on him , and there he was -- caught ! When Johnnie Green discovered that he had captured that young squirrel he was just as glad as Frisky was sorry and frightened .
