“Drive out the squirrel; we’ll let you go,” said Hungry Hawk.
Then Little Jack Rabbit made enough racket to drive out an elephant. “I’ve pushed him half through the back door,” he shouted, “but I can’t shove him any farther. Come around and pull him out.”
Hungry Hawk ran around to the back of the tree. Quicker than a wink Little Jack Rabbit hopped through the front door, over the Sunny Meadow, lipperty-clip, clipperty-lip, straight for the Old Bramble Patch.
And maybe Danny Fox wasn’t angry when he got back to the hollow tree with his big corncob pipe and tobacco pouch!
“You silly old bird, to let a little rabbit fool you,” he cried when Hungry Hawk told him what had happened.
Then he lighted his pipe and sat down to have a smoke.
“Next time I’ll do my rabbit hunting alone,” he growled.
“And so will I,” said Hungry Hawk, spreading his wings and flying away.
