He was going to get into that old stump , and if those big , fat hickory nuts were there , as he was sure they were , he was going to take them . He tried very hard to make himself believe that it would n't be stealing . He had watched those nuts in the top of the tall hickory tree so long that he had grown to think that they belonged to him . Of course they did n't , but he had made himself think they did . Happy Jack walked all around the old stump , and then he climbed up on top of it . There was only one doorway , and that was the little round hole through which Striped Chipmunk had entered and then come out . It was too small for Happy Jack to even get his head through , though his cousin , Chatterer the Red Squirrel , who is much smaller , could have slipped in easily . Happy Jack sniffed and sniffed . He could smell nuts and corn and other good things . My , how good they did smell ! His eyes shone greedily . Happy Jack took one more hasty look around to see that no one was watching , then with his long sharp teeth he began to make the doorway larger . The wood was tough , but Happy Jack worked with might and main , for he wanted to get those nuts and get away before Striped Chipmunk should return , or any one else should happen along and see him . Soon the hole was big enough for him to get his head inside . It was a storehouse , sure enough . Happy Jack worked harder than ever , and soon the hole was large enough for him to get wholly inside . What a sight ! There was corn ! and there were chestnuts and acorns ! and there were a few hickory nuts , though these did not look so big and fat as the ones Happy Jack was looking for !
Happy Jack chuckled to himself , a wicked , greedy chuckle , XXXXX he looked .
