Well , that is exactly the way it was with Happy Jack Squirrel , as he and Tommy Tit the Chickadee started to go over to Farmer Brown 's house to look for Farmer Brown 's boy . Tommy Tit had been there often , so he did n't think anything about it , but Happy Jack never had been there , and if the truth were known , his heart was going pitapat , pitapat , with excitement and perhaps just a little fear . Through the Old Orchard they went , Tommy Tit flitting ahead and keeping a sharp watch for danger . When they reached the old stone wall on the edge of Farmer Brown 's dooryard , Tommy told Happy Jack to hide there while he went to see if the way was clear . He was back in a few minutes . `` Dee , dee , everything is all right , '' said he . `` Bowser the Hound is eating ; his breakfast out back where he ca n't see you at all , and Black Pussy is nowhere about . All you have to do is to follow me over to that big tree close to the house , and I will show you where Farmer Brown 's boy is . '' `` I -- I 'm afraid , '' confessed Happy Jack . `` Pooh ! There 's nothing to be afraid of , '' asserted Tommy Tit in the most positive way . `` Do n't be a coward . Remember how Farmer Brown 's boy saved you from Shadow the Weasel . Come on ! Dee , dee , dee , come on ! '' With that Tommy flew across to the tree close by the house . Happy Jack scrambled up on the old stone wall and looked this way and looked that way . He could n't see a thing to be afraid of . He jumped down and ran a few steps . Then his heart failed , and he scampered back to the old stone wall in a panic .
After a few XXXXX he tried again , and once more a foolish fear sent him back .
