Johnny Chuck in "Gentle Sister South Wind Arrives"

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 Ryder Rabbit and hoped he was feeling well.
