Just remember every day To be quite sure of what you say . Happy Jack . Taking things for granted does n't do at all in this world . To take a thing for granted is to think that it is so without taking the trouble to find out whether it is or not . It is apt not only to get you yourself into trouble , but to make trouble for other people as well . Happy Jack saw Farmer Brown 's boy carry Shadow the Weasel away in a cage , and he saw him bring back the cage empty . What could he have done with Shadow ? For a while he teased Farmer Brown 's boy to tell him , but of course Farmer Brown 's boy did n't understand Happy Jack 's language . Now Happy Jack knew just what he would like to believe . He would like to believe that Farmer Brown 's boy had taken Shadow away and made an end of him . And because he wanted to believe that , it was n't very hard to believe it . There was the empty cage . Of course Farmer Brown 's boy would n't have gone to the trouble of trapping Shadow unless he intended to get rid of him for good . `` He 's made an end of him , that 's what he 's done ! '' said Happy Jack to himself , because that is what he would have done if he had been in Farmer Brown 's boy 's place . So having made up his mind that this is what had been done with Shadow , he at once told all his friends that it was so , and was himself supremely happy . You see , he felt that he no longer had anything to worry about . Yes , Sir , Happy Jack was happy . He liked the house Farmer Brown 's boy had made for him in the big maple tree close by his own house . He was sure of plenty to eat , because Farmer Brown 's boy always looked out for that , and as a result Happy Jack was growing fat .
None XXXXX his enemies of the Green Forest dared come so near to Farmer Brown 's house , and the only one he had to watch out for at all was Black Pussy .
