"I am going to hide Teddy where May will never find him," he said to himself.
"Then I can have him to play with every day."
But the next minute Jip forgot all about Teddy Bear, because he saw Bobby Gray Squirrel.
Bobby Gray Squirrel wag skipping over the ground hunting for nuts.
Jip liked to play tag with Bobby, so he dropped Teddy Bear and ran after the little gray squirrel.
But Bobby saw the dog coming and skipped up into the oak tree.
He sat down on the lowest branch and began to scold Jip.
"Chatter, chatter, chatter!" he said. "Why did you run after me? I had just found a nut for my breakfast."
"Bow-wow!" said Jip. "Come down out of that tree and play chase with me."
But Bobby would not come down and so at last Jip ran away home.
