There was so much said about Sandy Chipmunk's store of nuts and grain that a few of the forest-people began to wish they had some of Sandy's winter food for themselves. Uncle Sammy Coon, an old scamp who lived over near the swamp, was one of those who began to plan to get Sandy's hoard away from him. It was the grain that Uncle Sammy wanted.
And Brownie Beaver moved up beside him, to hear what he said. The sign looked like this: NO HUNTING Uncle Jerry repeated the words in a sing-song tone. "I don't think much of that," he said. "It's bad enough to be hunted by people who make a noise, though you have some chance of getting away then. But if they can't make a noise it will be much more dangerous for all of us forest-people."
But pretty soon he stuck his head out again to see what was happening. Mr. and Mrs. Hawk had vanished. And all the forest-people were thanking Mr. and Mrs. Kinglet for driving them away. Frisky Squirrel thanked them, too. And when he remembered how he had sometimes teased Mrs. Kinglet by visiting her nest he felt very much ashamed, and he promised himself that he would never trouble her again.
And she shook her head over and over again as Tommy told her what good times he and Spot had had together. Mrs. Fox actually began to think that Tommy was telling stories. The other forest-people, too, thought that Tommy was fibbing when he bragged about his strange adventures. And old Mr. Crow began to cry "Stop, liar!" after him, instead of "Stop, thief!" as he used to do.
Frisky always supposed that he was called "Henry" because he was so fond of hens for he visited Farmer Green's hen-house oftener than any other of the forest-people but whether that was why he was so named I should really not want to say. "Well, well! You're out pretty late," Henry Skunk called, as soon as he saw Frisky.
Anyhow, the news offered the best of excuses for gossip. And many of the field- and forest-people repeated it so often that they almost began to believe it themselves. All but old Mr. Crow. He declared stoutly that the whole thing was nothing but a hoax. "You can't fool me!" he told people. But when they said that they had no intention of trying to, he had to change his statement.
Some of the forest-people didn't know what he meant, until Peter explained to them that he would take care of hats, coats, umbrellas, walking-sticks, or anything else that anybody might like to leave with him during the concert. "How are you going to find my hat, if I leave it with you?" Mr. Rabbit asked. Peter Mink showed him a heap of oak leaves.
That Disagreeable Freddie Weasel Almost everybody liked Frisky Squirrel, he was such a happy little fellow. But there were a few of the forest-people with whom Frisky never was able to make friends. They were the disagreeable, selfish kind, who never liked anyone except themselves. Freddie Weasel was one of the few with whom Frisky Squirrel never could have a good time.
He would have laughed at the very idea. There was something else, too, about Jimmy Rabbit, that Frisky Squirrel liked; he was always thinking of new things to do new places to visit, new games, new tricks to play on other forest-people. To be sure, Jimmy and Frisky did not always agree but that is not surprising, because their tastes were so different.
You see, the little forest-people have to think of many things especially when they walk out alone with a person like Uncle Sammy Coon. A Bag of Corn When Frisky Squirrel and Uncle Sammy Coon arrived at Farmer Green's place, the moon was just rising.
