And hit Danny Fox on his old hat brim.
“Stop throwing nuts at me!” shouted Danny Fox, opening wide his mouth to show all his long, white teeth.
But that didn’t frighten Squirrel Nutcracker. Oh, my no! He just curled his long, bushy tail over his back and began to chatter. But Chick-a-dee-dee flew away. He didn’t wish to be there if there was to be a fight. Of course that could never happen, for Danny Fox didn’t know how to climb a tree and Squirrel Nutcracker knew too much to come down to the ground.
“If you don’t go away from here,
And do it pretty soon,
Maybe I’ll reach up to the sky
And hit you with the moon,”
shouted the old squirrel, which so frightened Danny Fox that he ran home to his den.
