You remember that as he stood behind Frisky Squirrel's back with his mother's big shears, all ready to cut off Frisky's tail, he had told Frisky that "it would all be over in a jiffy"? Well, it was. But things didn't happen just as Jimmy Rabbit had expected.
It makes a great difference whether you are outside the trap, or in it. And Frisky Squirrel was in it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get away. He made up his mind that if anybody tried to lift him out of the box he would bite him. But Johnnie Green had caught squirrels before. He pulled on a pair of heavy gloves, and all Frisky's biting did no good or harm at all.
Johnnie wanted to see if he could find out what was the trouble with the little fellow. He thought that perhaps he had a bad tooth, which prevented his eating. And Johnnie tried to look inside of Frisky's mouth. At first Frisky kept perfectly still. He could hardly believe that he was outside that horrid, cramped cage. But it was true!
Of course clowns are not supposed to speak, so Jack did everything by pantomime. Next he came around and kissed Frisky. This made everybody roar again, and no matter what the clown did it certainly looked very funny. Finally Bert snapped his whip three times, and the clown jumped on Frisky's back, over the plush curtain and all, and rode off. "Wasn't that splendid!" everybody exclaimed.
As Frisky Squirrel looked down upon this unusual sight from his perch in the tree he saw that Farmer Green's wagons the kind Frisky had often seen before were bringing up sheaves of wheat. And pretty soon and this made Frisky's eyes almost pop out of his head he saw a man lead a pair of horses up that short, steep walk and tie them to the bar at the top of it. Then the horses began to walk.
And after making sure that there was no one inside the room, he stole in and jumped up on a shelf where there was a row of dishes with all sorts of tempting things on them. To Frisky's joy, he found a whole cake exactly like the bit he had discovered in the woods. And he ate all he wanted; there seemed to be no reason why he shouldn't, there was so much of it. And then a door slammed somewhere.
"I saw Frisky on the roof of the corn-barn, may be he took them." "I know he did! I'll have a trap, and kill him dead," cried Rob, disgusted with Frisky's grasping nature. "Perhaps if you watch, you can find out where he puts them, and I may be able to get them back for you," said Dan, who was much amused by the fight between the boys and squirrels. So Rob watched and saw Mr. and Mrs.
He had taken a good, firm grip on the shears, and he was just about to shut them upon Frisky's tail with a snap, when somebody called Frisky's name. Frisky knew who it was right away. It was his mother! And like most of us, when our mothers catch us doing something we ought not to do, Frisky was so surprised and so startled that he gave a great jump. That jump was all that saved Frisky's tail.
Then you'll have your turn see?" He kept a firm hold on the shears. And almost before Frisky knew what was happening Jimmy had stepped behind him and had placed Frisky's tail between the big shears. "Will it hurt?" Frisky asked, as he looked behind him. "It'll all be over in a jiffy," said Jimmy Rabbit. Jimmy Rabbit is too Late It was just as Jimmy Rabbit had said.
Her eyes glared fiercely; and her tail grew as big as Frisky's own. But that didn't help her at all. She could only sit there and watch Frisky Squirrel as he dropped from branch to branch, until she lost sight of him among the leaves. The Threshing-machine One day, late in the summer, Frisky Squirrel saw something that caused him great excitement.
