Then he
heard Tommy Tit chuckle. That was too much. He wouldn't be laughed at.
He just wouldn't. He scampered across, grabbed a nut, and rushed back to
the window-sill, where he ate the nut. It was easier to go after the
second nut, and when he went for the third, he had made up his mind that
it was perfectly safe in there, and so he sat up on a chair and ate it.
Presently he felt quite at home, and when he had eaten all the nuts he
wanted, he ran all around the room, examining all the strange things
there.
This was a little more than Tommy Tit could make up his mind to do. He
wasn't afraid to fly in for a nut and then fly out again, but he
couldn't feel easy inside a house like that. Of course, this made Happy
Jack feel good all over. You see, he felt that now he really did have
something to boast about. No one else in all the Green Forest or on the
Green Meadows could say that they had been all over Farmer Brown's boy's
room as he had. Happy Jack swelled himself out at the thought. Now
everybody would say, "What a bold fellow!"
