It was just at that very minute
that he heard the voice of Tommy Tit the Chickadee calling to him in
great excitement, and somehow, he didn't know why, a wee bit of hope
sprang up in his heart.
CHAPTER XV
WHO SAVED HAPPY JACK SQUIRREL?
Blessed he whose words of cheer
Help put hope in place of fear.
_Happy Jack._
It never has been fully decided among the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows just who really did save Happy Jack
Squirrel. Some say that Tommy Tit the Chickadee deserves all the credit,
and some say that--but wait. Let me tell you just what happened, and
then perhaps you can decide for yourself who saved Happy Jack.
You see, it was this way: Happy Jack had run and run and run and tried
every trick he knew to get away from Shadow the Weasel, but all in vain.
At last he was so out of breath and so tired that he felt that he
couldn't run any more. He had just made up his mind that he would wait
right where he was for Shadow and then put up the best fight he could,
even if it was hopeless, when he heard Tommy Tit calling to him in great
excitement.
