I soon will have my storehouse full Inside the hollow stump . '' Striped Chipmunk sang this just as if no one was anywhere near , and he was singing just for joy . Of course Happy Jack heard it and he grinned . `` So your storehouse is in a hollow stump , my smart little cousin ! '' said Happy Jack to himself . `` If that 's the case , I 'll soon find it . '' Striped Chipmunk scurried along , and now he took pains to always keep in sight . Happy Jack followed , hiding behind the trees . Pretty soon Striped Chipmunk picked up a plump acorn and put it in the pocket of his right cheek . Then he picked up another and put that in the pocket in his left cheek . Then he crowded another into each ; and his face was swelled so that you would hardly have guessed that it was Striped Chipmunk if you had chanced to meet him . My , my , he was a funny sight ! Happy Jack grinned again as he watched , partly because Striped Chipmunk looked so funny , and partly because he knew that if Striped Chipmunk was going to eat the acorns right away , he would n't stuff them into the pockets in his cheeks . But he had done this very thing , and so he must be going to take them to his storehouse . Off scampered Striped Chipmunk , and after him stole Happy Jack , his eyes shining with excitement . Pretty soon he saw an old stump which looked as if it must be hollow . Happy Jack grinned more than ever as he carefully hid himself and watched . Striped Chipmunk scrambled up on the old stump , looked this way and that way , as if to be sure that no one was watching him , then with a flirt of his funny little tail he darted into a little round doorway . He was gone a long time , but by and by out he popped , looked this way and that way , and then scampered off in the direction from which he had come . Happy Jack did n't try to follow him .
He waited until he was sure that Striped XXXXX was out of sight and hearing , and then he walked over to the old stump .
