Burgess, Thornton W. (Thornton Waldo), 1874-1965

"Happy Jack"

"There's no one to be afraid of but
Black Pussy and Bowser the Hound, and it's easy enough to keep out of
their way. You can hide in the old stone wall until the way is clear and
then run across to the big maple tree close to the house. Then you can
look right in and see Farmer Brown's boy, and he can look out and see
you. Will you do it?"
Happy Jack thought very hard for a few minutes. Then he made up his
mind. "I'll do it!" said he in a very decided tone of voice. "Let's
start right away."
"Good for you! Dee, dee, good for you!" cried Tommy Tit, and started to
lead the way.


CHAPTER XIX
TOMMY TIT AND HAPPY JACK PAY A VISIT
As grows the mighty elm tree,
From just a tiny seed,
So often great things happen
From just a kindly deed.
_Happy Jack._

Great things were happening to Happy Jack Squirrel. He was actually on
his way to Farmer Brown's house, and he had a feeling that other things
were likely to happen when he got there. Now you may not think that it
was anything very great that Happy Jack should be on his way to Farmer
Brown's house.
