Happy Jack frowned . `` I hope he wo n't come over this way , '' muttered Happy Jack . He does not love his cousin Chatterer anyway , and then there was the big tree full of hickory nuts ! He did n't want Chatterer to find that . I am afraid that Happy Jack was selfish . There were more nuts than he could possibly eat in one winter , and yet he was n't willing that his cousin , Chatterer the Red Squirrel , should have a single one . Now Chatterer is short-tempered and a great scold . Some one or something had upset him this morning , and he was scolding as fast as his tongue could go , as he came running right towards the tree in which Happy Jack was sitting . Happy Jack sat perfectly still and watched . He did n't move so much as the tip of his big gray tail . Would Chatterer go past and not see that big tree full of nuts ? It looked very much as if he would , for he was so busy scolding that he was n't paying much attention to other things . Happy Jack smiled as Chatterer came running under the tree without once looking up . He was so tickled that he started to hug himself and did n't remember that he was holding a big , fat nut in his hands . Of course he dropped it . Where do you think it went ? Well , Sir , it fell straight down , from the top of that tall tree , and it landed right on the head of Chatterer the Red Squirrel ! `` My stars ! '' cried Chatterer , stopping his scolding and his running together , and rubbing his head where the nut had hit him . Then he looked up to see where it had come from .
Of course , he looked straight up at Happy XXXXX .
