Mr. and Mrs. Quack called their thanks to Sammy , to which he replied , that he had done no more for them than he would do for anybody , or than they would have done for him . For some time Sammy sat quietly in the top of the tree , but all the time his sharp eyes were very busy . By and by he spied the hunter sitting on the log . At first he could n't make out just what it was he was looking at . It did n't move , but nevertheless Sammy was suspicious . Presently he flew over to a tree where he could see better . Right away he spied the terrible gun , and he knew just what that was . Once more he began to yell , `` Thief ! thief ! thief ! '' at the top of his lungs . It was then that the hunter lost his temper . He knew that now he had been discovered by Sammy Jay , and it was useless to remain there longer . He was angry clear through . CHAPTER XIX : Sammy Jay Is Modest As soon as the angry hunter with the terrible gun had disappeared among the trees of the Green Forest , and Lightfoot was sure that he had gone for good , Lightfoot came out from his hiding-place on top of the ridge and walked down to the pond of Paddy the Beaver for a drink . He knew that it was quite safe to do so , for Sammy Jay had followed the hunter , all the time screaming , `` Thief ! thief ! thief ! '' Every one within hearing could tell just where that hunter was by Sammy 's voice . It kept growing fainter and fainter , and by that Lightfoot knew that the hunter was getting farther and farther away .
Paddy the Beaver swam out from his XXXXX and climbed out on the bank near Lightfoot .
