[Illustration: HAPPY JACK TRIED EVERY TRICK HE KNEW TO GET AWAY FROM
SHADOW THE WEASEL.]
"Dee, dee, chickadee! Come here quick, Happy Jack! Come here quick!"
called Tommy Tit.
A wee bit of hope sprang up in Happy Jack's heart. He couldn't imagine
what possible help Tommy Tit could be, but he would go see. So taking
a long breath he started on as fast as he could in the direction of
Tommy's voice. He couldn't run very fast, because, you know, he was so
tired, but he did the best he could. Presently he saw Tommy just ahead
of him flying about in great excitement.
"Dee, dee, dee, there he is! Go to him! Go to him, Happy Jack! Hurry!
Hurry! Dee, dee, dee, oh, do hurry!" cried Tommy Tit.
For just a second Happy Jack didn't know what he meant. Then he saw
Farmer Brown's boy watching Tommy Tit as if he didn't know what to make
of the little fellow's excitement.
"Go to him! Go to him!" called Tommy. "He won't hurt you, and he won't
let Shadow the Weasel hurt you! See me! See me! Dee, dee, see me!" And
with that Tommy Tit flew right down on Farmer Brown's boy's hand, for
you know he and Farmer Brown's boy are great friends.
