replied Tommy , when he had heard about it . `` I 've done that often . '' CHAPTER XXII HAPPY JACK DARES TOMMY TIT A wise philosopher is he Who takes things as they chance to be , And in them sees that which is best While trying to forget the rest . Happy Jack . Somehow Happy Jack 's day had been spoiled . He knew that he had no business to allow it to be spoiled , but it was , just the same . You see , he had been all puffed up with pride because he thought himself a very bold fellow because he had really been inside Farmer Brown 's house .

I 'll dare Tommy to go as far inside Farmer Brown 's house as I do ! '' he exclaimed , and went to sleep to dream that he was the boldest , bravest squirrel that ever lived .
