And with that Tommy Tit flew right down on Farmer Brown 's boy 's hand , for you know he and Farmer Brown 's boy are great friends . Happy Jack hesitated . He knew that Farmer Brown 's boy had tried to make friends with him , and every day since the ice and snow had come had put out nuts and corn for him , but he could n't quite forget the old fear of him . He could n't quite trust him . So now he hesitated . Then he looked back . Shadow the Weasel was only a few jumps behind him , and his little eyes glowed red and savage . Farmer Brown 's boy might not hurt him , but Shadow certainly would . Shadow would kill him . Happy Jack made up his mind , and with a little gasp raced madly across the snow straight to Farmer Brown 's boy and ran right up to his shoulder .

But Shadow knows when he is well off , and now he knew better than to come a step nearer . So he snarled and spit , and then , as Farmer Brown 's boy took a step forward , leaped to one side and disappeared in the old stone wall . Very gently and softly Farmer Brown 's boy talked to Happy Jack as he took him to the nearest tree . Then , when Happy Jack was safely up in the tree , he went over to the stone wall and tried to drive Shadow the Weasel out .
