It was a gun ! Yes , sir , it was a gun , a terrible gun . `` Ha ! '' exclaimed Sammy , and quite forgot that his stomach was empty . `` Now who can that fellow be after so early in the morning ? I wonder if he is going to the dear Old Briar-patch to look for Peter Rabbit , or if he is going to the Old Pasture in search of Reddy Fox , or if it is Mr. and Mrs. Grouse he hopes to kill . I think I 'll sit right here and watch . '' So Sammy sat in the top of the tree and watched the hunter with the terrible gun . He saw him head straight for the Green Forest . `` It 's Mr. and Mrs. Grouse after all , I guess , '' thought Sammy . `` If I knew just where they were I 'd go over and warn them . '' But Sammy did n't know just where they were and he knew that it might take him a long time to find them , so he once more began to think of breakfast and then , right then , another thought popped into his head . He thought of Lightfoot the Deer . Sammy watched the hunter enter the Green Forest , then he silently followed him . From the way the hunter moved , Sammy decided that he was n't thinking of Mr. and Mrs. Grouse . `` It 's Lightfoot the Deer , sure as I live , '' muttered Sammy . `` He ought to be warned . He certainly ought to be warned . I know right where he is . I believe I 'll warn him myself . ''
