So the big stranger wanted to avoid a fight if possible . But he wanted still more to find that beautiful young visitor with the dainty feet for whom Lightfoot had been looking . He wanted to find her just as Lightfoot wanted to find her , and he hoped that if he did find her , he could take her away with him back to the Great Mountain . If he had to , he would fight for her , but until he had to he would keep out of the fight . So he dodged Lightfoot and at the same time looked for the beautiful stranger . All this Sammy Jay guessed , and after a while he grew tired of following Lightfoot for nothing . `` I 'll have to take a hand in this thing myself , '' muttered Sammy . `` At this rate , Lightfoot never will find that big stranger ! '' So Sammy stopped following Lightfoot and began to search through the Green Forest for the big stranger . It did n't take very long to find him . He was over near the pond of Paddy the Beaver . As soon as he saw him , Sammy began to scream at the top of his lungs . At once he heard the sound of snapping twigs at the top of a little ridge back of Paddy 's pond and knew that Lightfoot had heard and understood . CHAPTER XXXVII : The Great Fight Down from the top of the ridge back of the pond of Paddy the Beaver plunged Lightfoot the Deer , his eyes blazing with rage . He had understood the screaming of Sammy Jay . He knew that somewhere down there was the big stranger he had been looking for . The big stranger had understood Sammy 's screaming quite as well as Lightfoot . He knew that to run away now would be to prove himself a coward and forever disgrace himself in the eyes of Miss Daintyfoot , for that was the name of the beautiful stranger he had been seeking . He MUST fight . There was no way out of it , he MUST fight .
The hair on the back of his neck stood up with anger just as did the hair on the neck of XXXXX .
