just on account of the dreadful quarrel
OF striped Chipmunk's two foolish cousins
Happy Jack and Chatterer
You see. Happy Jack was greedy. He
had found the tree and though there
were more nuts than he could ever, ever
use himself he Wanted all Of them. When
his cousin Chatterer came along and
wanted some Happy Jack had said tha,
he couldn't have any. Then they had
begun the quarrel and called each other
dreadful names. Chatterer had climbed
the tree and now Happy Jack, who is
bigger but not SO spry, was CHASING
Chatterer round and round and over the
treetop. and they We're SO angry that
they didn't once notice that they were
knocking down the very nuts over which
they were quarreling.
Striped Chipmunk didn't stop to listen
to the quarrel. No. stree. He stuffed a
big, fat nut in each pocket in his cheeks
and scampered back to his splendid new
storehouse as fast as his little legs would
take him. Back and forth. back and
forth. scampered Striped Chipmunk. and
all the time he was laughing inside and
hoping that his big cousins would keep
right on quareling..
Evening star., 1912-11-24

Striped Chipmunk was sitting just in
side the hollow log studying about how
he could fill up his new storehouse for
the winter. Striped Chipmunk is very
thrifty. He likes to play and he Is one
of the merrest of all the little people
who live on the Green Meadows or in
the Green Forest He lives right on
the edge of both and knows everybody
and everybody knows him. Almost
every morning the Merry Little Breezes
of Old Mother West Wind hurry over
to have a frolic with him the very first
thing. But though he dearly loves to
work. Whatever he does. he it play or
work. he does with all his might.
/ love the sun: 1 love the rain;
/ love to work; love to play.
Whatever it may bring to me,
love each minute of each day.
SO said Striped Chipmunk as he sat
in the hollow log and studied how he
could fill that splendid big new store
house. Pretty soon he pricked up his
funny little ears. What was all that
noise over in the Green Forest? Striped
Chipmunk peeped out of the hollow log.
Over in the top of a tall hickory tree
there was terrible fuss going on.
Striped Chipmunk listened He heard
angry voices. Such angry voices They
were the voices of his big cousins, Happy
Jack, the Gray Squirrel. and Chatterer,
the Red Squirrel.
Dear me. Dear me, How those two
is it all about thought Striped Chip
munk.
So with a fiirt of his funny little tail
he scampered out of the hollow log and
