But Shadow knows when he is well off, and now he knew better
than to come a step nearer. So he snarled and spit, and then, as Farmer
Brown's boy took a step forward, leaped to one side and disappeared in
the old stone wall.
Very gently and softly Farmer Brown's boy talked to Happy Jack as he
took him to the nearest tree. Then, when Happy Jack was safely up in the
tree, he went over to the stone wall and tried to drive Shadow the
Weasel out. He pulled over the stones until at last Shadow jumped out,
and then Farmer Brown's boy chased him clear into the Green Forest.
"Dee, dee, dee, what did I tell you?" cried Tommy Tit happily, as he
flew over to where Happy Jack was sitting.
Now who really saved Happy Jack--Tommy Tit or Farmer Brown's boy?
CHAPTER XVI
HAPPY JACK MISSES FARMER BROWN'S BOY
One and one are always two,
And two and two are four.
And just as true it is you'll find
That love and love make more.
_Happy Jack._
Go ask Happy Jack Squirrel. He knows. He knows because he has proved it.
