carelessness that finally gave away
Whitefoot's secret.
Sammy Jay sometimes is very noisy
fellow. Sometimes he Is o very quiet
fellow. He has way of being around
when you do not know he is around.
1t happened that late one afternoon
Sammy alighted in a tree on the edge
of the Green Forest, right near where
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse had his
home. Sammy had made no sound. He
had kept that tongue of his still. Now
he sat, Just using those sharp eyes of
his. He wasn't looking for any one or
anything In particular.
He was Just looking for anything shat
might be of interest. A little below him,
in a bush on the edge of the Green
Forest, was big. gray globe. Sammy
knew it for Just what it was. He didn't
give it any particular attention. He
could think of nothing about a wasps'
nest that would be interesting to him.
So he looked at it without thinking
about 1t at all.
suddenly Sammy leaned forward and
those bright eyes of his became fixed on
that nest. There was something hang
ing down from the lower part of 1t and
he was sure that that something had
moved, although at the time there was
no wind. Sammy himself didn't move.
He waited and waited. Presently that
thing moved again.
ITS a TAIL" said Sammy to himself.
May I never raise my topknot again
II that isn't tail! Now, what Is tail
doing there? And whose tail is it?"
Now, of course, you know whose tail
it was. It was Whitefoot's tail White
foot has q long, slim tail. For once he
had become careless. In moving about
inside that nest his tail had slipped out
the little round doorway. There it was
hanging down. Whitefoot didn't think
anything about it. He wasn't aware
that 1t was hanging down outside. After
q bit he moved and drew his tail in.
But the telltale tail had told Sammy
Jay what Sammy wanted to know. It
had told him that there was some one
in that big wasps' nest that was sup
posed to be deserted
