"The Tale of Chirpy Cricket," is from the neat, frolicsome series of illustrated animal stories called "Tuck-Me-In Tales."

If Chirpy Cricket had begun to make music earlier in the summer perhaps he wouldn�t have given so much time to fiddling in Farmer Green�s farmyard. Everybody admitted that Chirpy was the most musical insect in the whole neighborhood. And it seemed as if he tried his hardest to crowd as much music as possible into a few weeks, though he had been silent enough during all the spring.

He had dug himself a hole in the ground, under some straw that was scattered near the barn; and every night, from midsummer on, he came out and made merry.

But in the daytime he was usually quiet as a mouse, sitting inside his hole and doing nothing at all except to wait patiently until it should be dark again, so that he might crawl forth from his hiding place and take up his music where he had left it unfinished the night before.
