Tommy Tit the Chickadee knew all this , and he used to chuckle to himself as he saw how proud of himself Happy Jack was , but he said nothing to any one about it . Of course , it was n't long before others began to notice Happy Jack 's pride . One of the first was Sammy Jay . There is very little that escapes Sammy Jay 's sharp eyes . Silently stealing through the Green Forest early one morning , he surprised Happy Jack strutting . `` Huh , '' said he , `` what are you feeling so big about ? '' Like a flash the thought came to Happy Jack that here was a chance to show what a bold fellow he had become . `` Hello , Sammy ! '' he exclaimed . `` Are you feeling very brave this morning ?

Wherever you go , I 'll XXXXX , '' he declared .
