Sammy started for the Green Forest as fast as his wings could take him . He would tell Reddy Fox and Redtail the Hawk . They were very fond of young Chucks . It would be great fun to see the fright of Johnny Chuck and his family when Reddy Fox or Redtail the Hawk appeared . Sammy Jay chuckled wickedly as he flew . When he reached the Green Forest and stopped in his favorite hemlock-tree to rest , he was still chuckling . But by that time it was a different kind of a chuckle . Yes , Sir , it was a different kind of a chuckle . It was a better chuckle to hear . The fact is , Sammy Jay was no longer chuckling over the thought of the trouble he could make . He was laughing at the memory of how funny those three little baby Chucks had looked sitting up on Johnny Chuck 's doorstep and trying to do whatever Johnny Chuck did . The more he thought about it , the more he tickled and laughed . Right in the midst of his laughter along came Redtail the Hawk . Sammy Jay opened his mouth to call to Redtail and tell him about Johnny Chuck 's secret . Then he closed it again with a snap . `` I wo n't tell him yet , '' said Sammy to himself , `` for he might catch one of those baby Chucks , and they are such funny little fellows that that would really be too bad . I guess I 'll wait a while . '' And with that , off flew Sammy Jay to hunt for some other mischief . You see , he had had a change of heart . The little goodness way down deep inside had come out of hiding .
But of course Johnny Chuck did n't know this , and over in his new house in the far corner of the old orchard , he and Polly Chuck were worrying and worrying , for they felt sure that now every one would know their XXXXX , and it would n't be safe for the dear little baby Chucks to so much as put their funny little noses outside the door .
