it couldn't be otherwise .

that is , it couldn't be otherwise as long as he remained in that henyard .

but after a while , having nothing else to do , [reddy] began to think .

right away [reddy] realized that to have been so caught would have been much worse than being a prisoner in [farmer] [brown] ['s] henyard .

at last , however , he remembered the chicken dinner he had felt so sure he was going to enjoy .

the thought of the chicken dinner reminded him that inside the henhouse it was dark .

[chapter] [xx] 

[where] [bowser] [was] 

bowser the [hound] . 
1 bowser 2 the

blacky reasoned that if [bowser] had any sense at all , he would know that that road must lead somewhere and would follow it . 
1 blacky 2 reasoned

if he didn't have sense enough to do this , he deserved to starve or freeze , was the way [blacky] reasoned it out .

of course he did .

the minute he found that road , a great load was taken from his mind .
