So Happy Jack nimbly jumped across to the window-sill . Farmer Brown 's boy 's hand with the fat nuts was still there , and Happy Jack lost no time in getting one . Then he sat up on the sill to eat it . My , but it was good ! It was just as good as it had looked . Happy Jack 's eyes twinkled as he ate . When he had finished that nut , he wanted another . But now Farmer Brown 's boy had drawn his hand inside the window . He was still holding it out with the nuts in it , but to get them Happy Jack must go inside , and he could n't get it out of his head that that was a very dangerous thing to do . What if that window should be closed while he was in there ? Then he would be a prisoner . So he sat up and begged . He knew that Farmer Brown 's boy knew what he wanted . But Farmer Brown 's boy kept his hand just where it was . `` Come on , you little rascal , '' said he . `` You ought to know me well enough by this time to know that I wo n't hurt you or let any harm come to you . Hurry up , because I ca n't stand here all day . You see , I 've just got over the mumps , and if I should catch cold I might be sick again . Come along now , and show how brave you are . '' Of course Happy Jack could n't understand what he said .
If he could have , he might have guessed that it was the mumps that had made Farmer XXXXX 's boy look so like Striped Chipmunk when he has his cheeks stuffed with nuts .
