Yes , Sir , Sammy Jay was worrying about Lightfoot the Deer . For two days he had been unable to find Lightfoot or any trace of Lightfoot . But he did find plenty of hunters with terrible guns . It seemed to him that they were everywhere in the Green Forest . Sammy began to suspect that one of them must have succeeded in killing Lightfoot the Deer . Sammy knew all of Lightfoot 's hiding-places . He visited every one of them . Lightfoot was n't to be found , and no one whom Sammy met had seen Lightfoot for two days . Sammy felt badly . You see , he was very fond of Lightfoot . You remember it was Sammy who warned Lightfoot of the coming of the hunter on the morning when the dreadful hunting season began . Ever since the hunting season had opened , Sammy had done his best to make trouble for the hunters . Whenever he had found one of them he had screamed at the top of his voice to warn every one within hearing just where that hunter was . Once a hunter had lost his temper and shot at Sammy , but Sammy had suspected that something of the kind might happen , and he had taken care to keep just out of reach . Sammy had known all about the chasing of Lightfoot by the hounds . Everybody in the Green Forest had known about it . You see , everybody had heard the voices of those hounds . Once , Lightfoot had passed right under the tree in which Sammy was sitting , and a few moments later the two hounds had passed with their noses to the ground as they followed Lightfoot 's trail . That was the last Sammy had seen of Lightfoot . He had been able to save Lightfoot from the hunters , but he could n't save him from the hounds .
The more XXXXX thought things over , the more he worried .
