`` Go to him ! Go to him ! '' called Tommy . `` He wo n't hurt you , and he wo n't let Shadow the Weasel hurt you ! See me ! See me ! Dee , dee , see me ! '' And with that Tommy Tit flew right down on Farmer Brown 's boy 's hand , for you know he and Farmer Brown 's boy are great friends . Happy Jack hesitated . He knew that Farmer Brown 's boy had tried to make friends with him , and every day since the ice and snow had come had put out nuts and corn for him , but he could n't quite forget the old fear of him . He could n't quite trust him . So now he hesitated . Then he looked back . Shadow the Weasel was only a few jumps behind him , and his little eyes glowed red and savage . Farmer Brown 's boy might not hurt him , but Shadow certainly would . Shadow would kill him . Happy Jack made up his mind , and with a little gasp raced madly across the snow straight to Farmer Brown 's boy and ran right up to his shoulder . Shadow the Weasel had been so intent on catching Happy Jack that he had n't noticed Farmer Brown 's boy at all . Now he saw him for the first time and stopped short , snarling and spitting . Whatever else you may say of Shadow the Weasel , he is no coward .
For a minute it looked as if he really meant to follow Happy Jack and get him in spite of Farmer Brown 's boy , and Happy XXXXX trembled as he looked down into those angry little red eyes .
