They saw Farmer Brown 's boy , but he did n't see them . Tommy Tit was just going to tap on the window to let him know they were there , when a door inside opened , and in walked Mrs. Brown . It frightened them so that Tommy Tit flew away without tasting a single nut , and Happy Jack nearly fell as he scrambled back into the tree close by the window . You see , they never had made her acquaintance , and having her walk in so suddenly frightened them terribly . They did n't stop to think that there was nothing to fear because there was the window between . Somehow they could n't understand that queer stuff that they could see through but which shut them out . If they had seen Mrs. Brown go to the window and put more cracked nuts on the sill , perhaps they would have been less afraid . But they had been too badly frightened to look back , and so they did n't know anything about that . The next morning Tommy Tit was on hand as usual , but he found Happy Jack a little doubtful about paying another visit . He was n't wholly over his scare of the day before . It took him some time to make up his mind to go , but finally he did . This time when they reached the tree close by the house , they found a great surprise awaiting them . Farmer Brown 's boy was sitting just inside the window , looking out . At least , they thought it was Farmer Brown 's boy , but when they got a little nearer , they grew doubtful . It looked like Farmer Brown 's boy , and yet it did n't . His cheeks stuck way out just as Striped Chipmunk 's do when he has them stuffed full of corn or nuts . Happy Jack stared at him very hard . `` My goodness , I did n't know he carried his food that way ! '' he exclaimed . `` I should think it would be dreadfully uncomfortable . ''
If Farmer Brown 's boy could have heard that , he certainly would have tried to laugh , and if he had -- well , it was bad enough when he tried to smile at the sight of Tommy Tit and Happy XXXXX .
