Happy Jack . Happy Jack did n't look happy a bit . Indeed , Happy Jack looked very unhappy . You see , he looked just as he felt . He had set his heart on having all the big , fat nuts that he had found in the top of that tall hickory tree , and now , instead of having all of them , he had n't any of them . Worse still , he knew right down in his heart that it was his own fault . He had been too greedy . But what had become of those nuts ? Happy Jack was studying about this as he sat with his back against a big chestnut tree . He remembered how hard Peter Rabbit had laughed when Happy Jack and his cousin , Chatterer the Red Squirrel , had been so surprised because they could not find the nuts they had knocked down . Peter had n't taken them , for Peter has no use for them , but he must know what had become of them , for he was still laughing as he had gone off down the Lone Little Path . While he was thinking of all this , Happy Jack 's bright eyes had been wide open , as they usually are , so that no danger should come near . Suddenly they saw something moving among the brown-and-yellow leaves on the ground . Happy Jack looked sharply , and then a sudden thought popped into his head . `` Hi , there , Cousin Chipmunk ! '' he shouted . `` Hi , there , your own self ! '' replied Striped Chipmunk , for it was he . `` What are you doing down there ? '' asked Happy Jack .
`` Looking for hickory nuts , '' replied Striped Chipmunk , and his eyes twinkled XXXXX he said it , for there was n't a hickory tree near .
