He could remember just how it looked in his dream, so he felt sure he would know it the minute he espied it. "If there isn't one in this wonderful woods," he was beginning to think, "I don't believe there is one anywhere." All of a sudden Hazel and Bushy-Tail heard their little play-fellows give a scared little cry.
What fun that picnic was. There were so many new things to see in that woods. Bushy-Tail kept crying, "Oh, look here, Hazel," and she was kept busy calling, "Come quick, Bushy-Tail." Bushy-Tail had one eye open for the wonderful tree where all kinds of nuts grew side by side on the same branch.
He went down the road calling, "Woo, woo, woo!" He would not even stop for his basket of cookies. Bushy-Tail called back, "Where they have gone to nobody knows, I'll find Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes." Bunny and Susan said, "We are glad to get out of the merry-go-round, but we must send word to Grandpa Grumbles not to let Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes out. Who will carry the message?"
Just then a terrifying "whiz" went past their ears followed by a deafening "bang." They were so frightened they ran and ran, and did not stop until they were all out of breath. It was the only time they ever had even seen a man with a gun. After that they never took nuts from men carrying sticks. That afternoon Mrs. Red Squirrel made Hazel and Bushy-Tail take a little nap.
Look at that 'coon scurrying up that log, running from the water. He's been trying to scoop out a dinner of fish, too. Nearly everything feeds on fish down here, even many of the wild ducks. Got him that time, did you, Will?" "I think so," replied Will complacently, for he had snapped his camera while the striped "bushy-tail" was still moving up the slanting log.
I forgot to tell you Mrs. Red Squirrel's two children were called Pinky and Rusty. They were such lively, frolicsome children that you just couldn't help but laugh to see them, and pretty soon Bushy-Tail and Hazel had forgotten all about how their parents must be worrying. "How would it be if we all went on a picnic today?" asked Mother Red Squirrel. "I know where there are hazel nuts."
So Hazel and Bushy-Tail were not afraid of the workman and when he knelt down and held out some nuts to them, they ran right up to him, chattering all the while. Bushy-Tail took one of the nuts, cracked it with his teeth and, holding it with both hands, ate very greedily. For, you see, the sight of the nuts reminded him he had not eaten any breakfast, and suddenly he became very hungry.
I want Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes to come and pay me a visit." Bushy-Tail said no more, and Bunny saw there was no use to mince matters, and the rain was coming down harder and harder. Bunny said, "If Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes want to pay you a visit I have no objection." Then the merry-go-round went slower and slower, and slower, and finally stopped.
"The show's broke up, an' that's all there's to it," said Bob, sorrowfully, as he gazed alternately at the hole in the canvas and his rapidly vanishing calf. "Are the squirrels all gone?" asked Joe, driving the cat from her intended prey long enough to allow Master Bushy-tail to gain a refuge under the barn. "Every one," replied Reddy.
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "How will you know the house when you come to it?" Tippy Toes said, "I will ask any one I meet." Papa Cotton-Tail said, "That is right, and be sure to bow when you meet Grandpa Grumbles." Then they said "Good-bye" again, and Tippy Toes went merrily along. He met Bushy-Tail, the sly old Fox. Bushy-Tail asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Snubby Nose?"
