It did n't look just right . The truth is it was partly open , but Happy Jack did n't understand this , not then , anyway . He stopped short and scolded , a way he has when things do n't suit him . Farmer Brown 's boy came to the window and called to him . Then he thrust a hand out , and in it were some of the fattest nuts Happy Jack ever had seen . His mouth watered right away . There might be something wrong with the window , but certainly the sill was all right . It would do no harm to go that far . So Happy Jack nimbly jumped across to the window-sill . Farmer Brown 's boy 's hand with the fat nuts was still there , and Happy Jack lost no time in getting one . Then he sat up on the sill to eat it . My , but it was good ! It was just as good as it had looked . Happy Jack 's eyes twinkled as he ate . When he had finished that nut , he wanted another . But now Farmer Brown 's boy had drawn his hand inside the window . He was still holding it out with the nuts in it , but to get them Happy Jack must go inside , and he could n't get it out of his head that that was a very dangerous thing to do . What if that window should be closed while he was in there ? Then he would be a prisoner . So he sat up and begged .
He knew that Farmer Brown 's XXXXX knew what he wanted .
