I 'll make him fight . That 's what I 'll do ; I 'll make him fight ! I 'm not afraid of him , but I 'll make him fear me . '' Lightfoot stamped his feet and with his great antlers thrashed the bushes as if he felt that they were the enemy he sought . Could you have looked into his great eyes then , you would have found nothing soft and beautiful about them . They became almost red with anger . Lightfoot quivered all over with rage . The hair on the back of his neck stood up . Lightfoot the Deer looked anything but gentle . After he had vented his spite for a few minutes on the harmless , helpless bushes , he threw his head high in the air and whistled angrily . Then he leaped over the Laughing Brook and once more began to search through the Green Forest . But this time it was not for the beautiful stranger with the dainty feet . He had no time to think of her now . He must first find this newcomer and he meant to waste no time in doing it . CHAPTER XXXV : Lightfoot Is Reckless In his search for the new stranger who had come to the Green Forest , Lightfoot the Deer was wholly reckless . He no longer stole like a gray shadow from thicket to thicket as he had done when searching for the beautiful stranger with the dainty feet . He bounded along , careless of how much noise he made . From time to time he would stop to whistle a challenge and to clash his horns against the trees and stamp the ground with his feet . After such exhibitions of anger he would pause to listen , hoping to hear some sound which would tell him where the stranger was . Now and then he found the stranger 's tracks , and from them he knew that this stranger was doing : just what he had been doing , seeking to find the beautiful newcomer with the dainty feet .
Each time he found these signs XXXXX 's rage increased .
