"I will," said Jacko bravely, so he ran to where he could hear the mousie scurrying around in the trap, which was in a room upstairs in the house of the fox.
Well, it didn't take Jacko long, with his nimble fingers and toes, and his long tail, to get the little mouse out of the trap. Then, when she walked over toward a window, the monkey said:
"Why, I do believe you are little Squeaky-Eeky, the cousin mouse of Jollie and Jillie Longtail."
"That's just who I am," said the mouse. "You see, I was going past this house, and I smelled cheese. I didn't know the fox lived here, so I came in, and then I was caught in the trap."
"But now you're free," said Jacko. "Come on, and we will hurry away before the fox and his friend get back."
They started down the stairs, but just then there was a noise outside, and Squeaky-Eeky, looking from the window, cried:
"Too late! Here come the two foxes."
Then Jacko heard a voice saying:
"Walk right upstairs, Mr. Robber Fox; I have a fine meal waiting for you in my trap."
