.. _You_ will have to do that for
me," he said.
Jasper Jay gave another loud shriek and rocked back and forth on the limb
where he sat.
"Another joke!" he gasped--for he was too clever to be caught like that.
He had no idea of going near enough to Rowdy Red-Squirrel to tie his
hands behind his back.
"Well, I see I'll have to whip Sandy Chipmunk just as I am," Rowdy
grumbled. "It won't be much fun for me."
"I don't believe it will," Jasper Jay agreed.
"After I whip him, you'll have to find six more chipmunks for me, if you
want to see me fight them all at once," Rowdy Red-Squirrel told Jasper
Jay.
"I'll do it--if you whip Sandy," Jasper promised. And he laughed so hard
that he almost tumbled off the limb.

ROWDY RUNS AWAY
Rowdy Red-Squirrel jumped from one tree into another until he reached the
beech tree in which Jasper Jay had caught sight of Sandy Chipmunk.
Now, Sandy had not seen Rowdy stealing upon him. And the first he knew
about the fight was when he happened to turn around. Then he saw Rowdy
Red-Squirrel right in front of him. And before Sandy could move, Rowdy
had jumped straight at him.
