And when you talk of whipping six, I can't help laughing." "You wouldn't laugh if I could catch you," Rowdy Red-Squirrel growled. And if he hadn't known that Jasper Jay would fly away, he would have jumped into Jasper's tree and chased him. "You mustn't expect me to believe you can whip six until I've seen you whip one," Jasper went on. "There's Sandy Chipmunk in that beech tree.
Through the middle of it purled a tiny creek which disappeared between the ragged shoulders of rock, and close to this creek stood the cabin, its log walls smothered under a luxuriant growth of wood-vine. But Peter's quizzical little eyes were not measuring the beauty of the place, nor were his ears listening to the singing of birds, or the chattering of a red-squirrel on a stub a few yards away.
And he laughed so hard that he almost tumbled off the limb. Rowdy Red-Squirrel jumped from one tree into another until he reached the beech tree in which Jasper Jay had caught sight of Sandy Chipmunk. Now, Sandy had not seen Rowdy stealing upon him. And the first he knew about the fight was when he happened to turn around. Then he saw Rowdy Red-Squirrel right in front of him.
Why don't you steal over there and show me whether you can whip him?" "I'll do it!" Rowdy cried. "Not that I find much pleasure in fighting a single chipmunk for I can whip one with my hands tied behind me." "Can you?" Jasper Jay asked. "Then let me see you tie your hands." "I can't!" Rowdy Red-Squirrel replied.

If Rowdy had had a sound beating, maybe fighting would not have seemed so pleasant to him. As for chipmunks, Rowdy Red-Squirrel boasted that he could whip six chipmunks at a time. "That is, I could if they would stand still," he said. "Of course, if they ran off in six different directions it might be a hard thing to do." Rowdy was talking to Jasper Jay, who sat in a tree not far away.
