Some one had very , very softly stolen up and grabbed it and begun to pull . It was so sudden and unexpected that Happy Jack yelled with fright . When he could get his wits together , he thought of course Striped Chipmunk had come back and was pulling his tail . When he thought that , he got over his fright right away , for Striped Chipmunk is such a little fellow that Happy Jack knew that he had nothing ; to fear from him . So as fast as he could , Happy Jack backed out of the hole and whirled around . Of course he expected to face a very angry little Chipmunk . But he did n't . No , Sir , he did n't . Instead , he looked right into the angry face of his other cousin , Chatterer the Red Squirrel . And Chatterer was angry ! Oh my , my , how angry Chatterer was ! For a minute he could n't find his voice , because his anger fairly choked him . And when he did , how his tongue did fly ! `` You thief ! You robber ! What are you doing in my storehouse ? '' he shrieked . Happy Jack backed away hurriedly , for though he is much bigger than Chatterer , he has a very wholesome respect for Chatterer 's sharp teeth , and when he is very angry , Chatterer is a great fighter . `` I -- I did n't know it was your storehouse , '' said Happy Jack , backing away still further . `` It does n't make any difference if you did n't ; you 're a thief just the same ! ''
