And so it went on for a fort-
night; till a big wind blew off
the top of the tree, and opened
up the hole and let in the rain.

Then Timmy Tiptoes came
out, and went home with an
umbrella.

But Chippy Hackee continued
to camp out for another
week, although it was
uncomfortable.

At last a large bear came
walking through the wood.
Perhaps he also was looking
for nuts; he seemed to be
sniffing around.

Chippy Hackee went home
in a hurry!

And when Chippy Hackee
got home, he found he had
caught a cold in his head; and
he was more uncomfortable
still.

And now Timmy and
Goody Tiptoes keep their nut
store fastened up with a little
padlock.

And whenever that little
bird sees the Chipmunks, he
sings--"Who's-been-digging-
up MY-nuts? Who's been dig-
ging-up MY-nuts?" But nobody
ever answers!
