Poor Spot! He felt so mournful that he lifted up his and howled. Farmer Green's wife had just ordered him out of the kitchen. She thought he had been teasing Miss Kitty Cat. And instead he had kept Miss Kitty from tasting the leg of mutton that lay on the kitchen table.  
"It's a sad, sad world!" he howled. "I thought Mrs. Green would praise me. But she didn't. She scolded me!"
 
"Sakes alive!" cried Henrietta Hen as she rushed up to him in the farmyard. "What's the matter with you? Are you trying to bay the moon in the daytime?"
 
Turkey Proudfoot gobbled at Spot and bade him be still. Turkey Proudfoot was very , for he had an idea that he ruled the farmyard.
 
Old dog Spot felt so , after the scolding that Mrs. Green gave him, that he couldn't find a word to say to anybody that to him.
 
"I've expected this for some time," the Rooster told Henrietta Hen. "Mrs. Green has put old Spot out of the . And Farmer Green intends to put him off the farm. Everyone agrees that he's a nuisance. It's a wonder the folks in the Green family have kept him all these years."
 
Well, old dog Spot couldn't help hearing what the Rooster said. And he hadn't even heart enough to answer that impertinent boaster.
 
"Maybe he knows what he's talking about," Spot . &quo............
