yelled Happy Jack , as he backed out of the hollow stump faster than he had gone in , a great deal faster . Can you guess why ? I 'll tell you . It was because he was being pulled out . Yes , Sir , Happy Jack Squirrel was being pulled out by his big , bushy tail . Happy Jack was more frightened than hurt . To be sure , it is not at all comfortable to have one 's tail pulled , but Happy Jack would n't have minded this so much had it not been so unexpected , or if he could have seen who was pulling it . And then , right inside Happy Jack did n't feel a bit good . Why ? Well , because he was doing a dreadful thing , and he knew that it was a dreadful thing . He had broken into somebody 's storehouse to steal . He was sure that it was Striped Chipmunk 's storehouse , and he would n't admit to himself that he was going to steal , actually steal . But all the time , right down deep in his heart , he knew that if he took any of those hickory nuts it would be stealing . But Happy Jack had been careless . When he had made the doorway big enough for him to crawl inside , he had left his tail hanging outside . Some one had very , very softly stolen up and grabbed it and begun to pull . It was so sudden and unexpected that Happy Jack yelled with fright . When he could get his wits together , he thought of course Striped Chipmunk had come back and was pulling his tail . When he thought that , he got over his fright right away , for Striped Chipmunk is such a little fellow that Happy Jack knew that he had nothing ; to fear from him . So as fast as he could , Happy Jack backed out of the hole and whirled around .
Of course he expected XXXXX face a very angry little Chipmunk .
