Oh , my , yes , indeed ! When he is awake , and that is every minute of the daytime , he is the most wide-awake little fellow you ever did see . He had seen Happy Jack the very first thing , and he had guessed right away that Happy Jack was spying on him so as to find out if he had any of the big , fat hickory nuts . Now Striped Chipmunk had all of those fat hickory nuts safely hidden in his splendid new storehouse , but he did n't intend to let Happy Jack know it . So he just pretended not to see Happy Jack , or to know that he was anywhere near , but acted as if he was just going about his own business . Really he was just having the best time ever fooling Happy Jack . `` The corn is ripe ; the nuts do fall ; Acorns are sweet and plump . I soon will have my storehouse full Inside the hollow stump . '' Striped Chipmunk sang this just as if no one was anywhere near , and he was singing just for joy . Of course Happy Jack heard it and he grinned . `` So your storehouse is in a hollow stump , my smart little cousin ! '' said Happy Jack to himself . `` If that 's the case , I 'll soon find it . '' Striped Chipmunk scurried along , and now he took pains to always keep in sight . Happy Jack followed , hiding behind the trees . Pretty soon Striped Chipmunk picked up a plump acorn and put it in the pocket of his right cheek . Then he picked up another and put that in the pocket in his left cheek . Then he crowded another into each ; and his face was swelled so that you would hardly have guessed that it was Striped Chipmunk if you had chanced to meet him . My , my , he was a funny sight ! Happy Jack grinned again as he watched , partly because Striped Chipmunk looked so funny , and partly because he knew that if Striped Chipmunk was going to eat the acorns right away , he would n't stuff them into the pockets in his cheeks .
But he had done this very thing , and so he must be going XXXXX take them to his storehouse .
