Along the way, Reddy encounters many of the citizens of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest and with him we learn little lessons about life such as: the perils of being a show off; the importance of using all of one's senses; that it is a fine thing to show sympathy and kindness to others even our enemies; and that the value of a grandmother's wisdom is inestimable. We also learn that after you've stolen a boy's pet chicken and he is coming your way with a gun, a shovel and a hound dog, it may be time to beat a hasty retreat.
