Happy Jack had been so troubled by what he saw that he had hardly tasted the nuts he had found on the window-sill . `` I am going to make him another call to-morrow , '' said he when he and Tommy Tit were once more back in the Green Forest . `` Of course , '' replied Tommy . `` I expected you would . I will be around for you at the same time . You 're not afraid any more to go up there , are you ? '' `` No-o , '' replied Happy Jack , slowly . The truth is , he was still a little afraid . It seemed to him a terribly venturesome thing to cross that open dooryard , but having done it once in safety , he knew that it would be easier the next time . It was . The next morning he and Tommy Tit went just as before , and this time Happy Jack scampered across the dooryard the very first time he tried . They found things just as they had been the day before . They saw Farmer Brown 's boy , but he did n't see them . Tommy Tit was just going to tap on the window to let him know they were there , when a door inside opened , and in walked Mrs. Brown . It frightened them so that Tommy Tit flew away without tasting a single nut , and Happy Jack nearly fell as he scrambled back into the tree close by the window . You see , they never had made her acquaintance , and having her walk in so suddenly frightened them terribly . They did n't stop to think that there was nothing to fear because there was the window between . Somehow they could n't understand that queer stuff that they could see through but which shut them out . If they had seen Mrs. Brown go to the window and put more cracked nuts on the sill , perhaps they would have been less afraid . But they had been too badly frightened to look back , and so they did n't know anything about that .
The next morning Tommy XXXXX was on hand as usual , but he found Happy Jack a little doubtful about paying another visit .
