Snakes teeth are small. But they did hurt.
 Smarty tried to struggle, but it was of little use. MT, Black Snake glided away with him. Smarty gave up hope, How he did wish that he had needed mothers warning. How he did wish he had been less sure that he was so smart. He knew that he hadn't 3 chance in the world to escape from this dreadful enemy who had caught him A moment he fore he had been having a lovely sun bath; now he was being car ried away to furnish dinner for an enemy he hadn't even known ry- istcd. He could hear Striped Chip. muk and Mrs Chipmunk crying. He could hear the foathered people Of the Old Orchard screaming. Never since he had first put his head out side the doorway of his home had he heard such racket.
 But all this noise didn't help him any. Al least he didn't think it helped him any. He was being car riod away in spite of it and he had no hope at all, But actually all that noise was helping him. At least it was bringing help to him, Little Smarty Chirmunk was in tight place, but il wasn't quite as tight as he thought it was.
