Looking inside , they saw Farmer Brown 's boy standing in the middle of the room , holding out a dish of nuts and smiling at them . This was the chance Happy Jack wanted to try the plan he had thought of the night before . `` I dare you to go way in there and get a nut , '' said he to Tommy Tit . He hoped that Tommy would be afraid . But Tommy was n't anything of the kind . `` Dee , dee , dee ! Come on ! '' he cried , and flitted over and helped himself to a cracked nut and was back with it before Happy Jack could make up his mind to jump down inside . Of course now that he had dared Tommy Tit , and Tommy had taken the dare , he just had to do it too . It looked a long way in to where Farmer Brown 's boy was standing . Twice he started and turned back . Then he heard Tommy Tit chuckle . That was too much . He would n't be laughed at . He just would n't . He scampered across , grabbed a nut , and rushed back to the window-sill , where he ate the nut . It was easier to go after the second nut , and when he went for the third , he had made up his mind that it was perfectly safe in there , and so he sat up on a chair and ate it . Presently he felt quite at home , and when he had eaten all the nuts he wanted , he ran all around the room , examining all the strange things there . This was a little more than Tommy Tit could make up his mind to do . He was n't afraid to fly in for a nut and then fly out again , but he could n't feel easy inside a house like that .
Of course , this made Happy Jack feel good all XXXXX .
