Happy Jack watched him out of sight. He had gone in
the direction of the Old Pasture. He was gone a long time, and when he
did return, the cage was empty.
Happy Jack blinked at the empty cage. Then he began to ask in a
scolding tone, "What did you do with him? What did you do with him?"
Farmer Brown's boy just smiled and tossed a nut to Happy Jack. And far
up in the Old Pasture, Shadow the Weasel was once more free. It was well
for Happy Jack's peace of mind that he didn't know that.
CHAPTER XXXII
HAPPY JACK IS PERFECTLY HAPPY
Never say a thing is so
Unless you absolutely know.
Just remember every day
To be quite sure of what you say.
_Happy Jack._
Taking things for granted doesn't do at all in this world. To take a
thing for granted is to think that it is so without taking the trouble
to find out whether it is or not. It is apt not only to get you yourself
into trouble, but to make trouble for other people as well. Happy Jack
saw Farmer Brown's boy carry Shadow the Weasel away in a cage, and he
saw him bring back the cage empty.
