This was a little more than Tommy Tit could make up his mind to do . He was n't afraid to fly in for a nut and then fly out again , but he could n't feel easy inside a house like that . Of course , this made Happy Jack feel good all over . You see , he felt that now he really did have something to boast about . No one else in all the Green Forest or on the Green Meadows could say that they had been all over Farmer Brown 's boy 's room as he had . Happy Jack swelled himself out at the thought . Now everybody would say , `` What a bold fellow ! '' CHAPTER XXIII SAMMY JAY IS QUITE UPSET I know of nothing sweeter than Success to Squirrel or to man . Happy Jack . Very few people can be all puffed up with pride without showing it . Happy Jack Squirrel could n't . Just to have looked at him you would have known that he was feeling very , very good about something . When he thought no one was looking , he would actually strut . And it was all because he considered himself a very bold fellow . That was a new feeling for Happy Jack . He knew that all his neighbors considered him rather timid , and many a time he had envied , actually envied Jimmy Skunk and Reddy Fox and Unc ' Billy Possum and even Sammy Jay because they did such bold things and had dared to visit Farmer Brown 's dooryard and henhouse in spite of Bowser the Hound . But now he felt that he dared do a thing that not one of them dared do . He dared go right into Farmer Brown 's house and make himself quite at home in the room of Farmer Brown 's boy . He felt that he was a tremendously brave fellow . You see , he quite forgot one thing .
He forgot that he had found out that love destroys fear , and that though it might look to others like a very bold thing to walk right into Farmer XXXXX 's house , it really was n't bold at all , because all the time he knew that no harm would come to him .
