The very sound of Tommy's voice made Happy Jack feel
better. One must feel very badly indeed not to be a little more cheerful
when Tommy Tit is about. The fact is, Tommy Tit packs about so much
good cheer in that small person of his, that no one can be downhearted
when he is about.
"Hello, Tommy," said Happy Jack. "If I could make other people feel as
good as you do, do you know what I would do?"
"What?" asked Tommy.
"I'd go straight up to Farmer Brown's house and try to cheer up Farmer
Brown's boy," replied Happy Jack.
"That's the very thing I have in mind," chuckled Tommy. "I've come over
here to see if you won't come along with me. I've been up to his house
so often that he won't think half so much of a visit from me as he will
from you. Will you do it?"
Happy Jack looked a little startled. You see, he never had been over to
Farmer Brown's house, and somehow he couldn't get over the idea that it
would be a very dangerous thing to do. "I--I--do you really suppose I
could?" he asked.
"I'm sure of it," replied Tommy Tit.
