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

"Happy Jack"

He was so happy that Sammy Jay actually became
jealous. You know Sammy is a born trouble maker. He visited Happy Jack
every morning, and while he helped himself to the good things that he
always found spread for him, for Farmer Brown's boy always had something
for the little feathered folk to eat, he would hint darkly that such
goodness and kindness was not to be trusted, and that something was sure
to happen. That is just the way with some folks; they always are
suspicious.
But nothing that Sammy Jay could say troubled Happy Jack; and Sammy
would fly away quite put out because he couldn't spoil Happy Jack's
happiness the least little bit.


CHAPTER XXXIII
SAMMY JAY UPSETS HAPPY JACK
A good deed well done often is overlooked,
but you never are allowed to forget a mistake.
_Happy Jack._

Sammy Jay chuckled as he flew across the snow-covered Green Meadows on
his way to his home in the Green Forest. He chuckled and he chuckled. To
have heard him you would have thought that either he had thought of
something very pleasant, or something very pleasant had happened to him.
