Then he thought of the big , smooth , mossy log he had been sitting on that very morning . `` The very place ! '' cried Striped Chipmunk , and scurried away to find Happy Jack Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel to invite them to his Thanksgiving dinner . CHAPTER XI STRIPED CHIPMUNK 'S THANKSGIVING DINNER There 's nothing quite so sweet in life As making up and ending strife . Happy Jack . Striped Chipmunk jumped out of bed very early Thanksgiving morning . It was going to be a very busy day . He had invited Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel , and Chatterer the Red Squirrel , to eat Thanksgiving dinner with him , and each had promised to be there . Striped Chipmunk chuckled as he thought how neither of his guests knew that the other was to be there . He washed his face and hands , brushed his hair , and ate his breakfast . Then he scurried over to his splendid new storehouse , which no one knew of but himself , and stuffed the pockets in his cheeks with good things to eat . When he could n't stuff another thing in , he scurried over to the nice , mossy log on the edge of the Green Forest , and there he emptied his pockets , for that was to be his dining table . Back and forth , back and forth between his secret storehouse and the smooth , mossy log hurried Striped Chipmunk . He knew that Happy Jack and the Chatterer have great appetites , and he wanted to be sure that there was plenty of good things to eat . And as he scurried along , he sang a little song . `` Thanksgiving comes but once a year , But when it comes it brings good cheer . For in my storehouse on this day Are piles of good things hid away . Each day I 've worked from early morn To gather acorns , nuts , and corn , Till now I 've plenty and to spare Without a worry or a care . So light of heart the whole day long , I 'll sing a glad Thanksgiving song . '' Promptly at the dinner hour Happy Jack appeared coming from one direction , and Chatterer the Red Squirrel coming from another direction .
They did n't see each other until just XXXXX they reached Striped Chipmunk 's smooth , mossy log .
