BY +PRINCETON POLYCHROME PRESS + + +BINDING BY +A. HOROWITZ & SON + + + + +FOR + +MANY UNKNOWN LITTLE FRIENDS, + +INCLUDING MONICA + + +[Illustration] + + +Once upon a time there was a little fat comfortable grey squirrel, called +Timmy Tiptoes. He had a nest thatched with leaves in the top of a tall +tree; and he had a little squirrel wife called Goody. + +[Illustration] + +Timmy Tiptoes sat out, enjoying the breeze; he whisked his tail and +chuckled--"Little wife Goody, the nuts are ripe; we must lay up a store +for winter and spring." Goody Tiptoes was busy pushing moss under the +thatch--"The nest is so snug, we shall be sound asleep all winter." "Then +we shall wake up all the thinner, when there is nothing to eat in +spring-time," replied prudent Timothy. + +[Illustration] + +When Timmy and Goody Tiptoes came to the nut thicket, they found other +squirrels were there already. + +Timmy took off his jacket and hung it on a twig; they worked away quietly +by themselves. + +[Illustration] + +Every day they made several journeys and picked quantities of nuts. They +carried them away in bags, and stored them in several hollow stumps near +the tree where they had built their nest. + +[Illustration] + +When these stumps were full, they began to empty the bags into a hole high +up a tree, that had belonged to a wood-pecker; the nuts rattled +down--down--down inside. + +"How shall you ever get them out again? It is like a money-box!" said +Goody. + +"I shall be much thinner before spring-time, my love," said Timmy Tiptoes, +peeping into the hole. + +[Illustration] + +They did collect quantities--because they did not lose them! Squirrels who +bury their nuts in the ground lose more than half, because they cannot +remember the place. + +The most forgetful squirrel in the wood was called Silvertail. He began to +dig, and he could not remember. And then he dug again and found some nuts +that did not belong to him; and there was a fight. And other squirrels +began to dig,--the whole wood was in commotion! + +[Illustration] + +Unfortunately, just at this time a flock of little birds flew by, from +bush to bush, searching for green caterpillars and spiders. There were +several sorts of little birds, twittering different songs. + +The first one sang--"Who's bin digging-up _my_ nuts? Who's-been-digging-up +_my_ nuts?" + +And another sang--"Little bita bread and-_no_-cheese! Little bit-a-bread +an'-_no_-cheese!" + +[Illustration] + +The squirrels followed and listened. The first little bird flew into the +bush where Timmy and Goody Tiptoes were quietly tying up their bags, and +it sang--"Who's-bin digging-up _my_ nuts? Who's been digging-up +_my_-nuts?" + +Timmy Tiptoes went on with his work without replying; indeed, the little +bird did not expect an answer. It was only singing its natural song, and +it meant nothing at all. + +[Illustration] + +But when the other squirrels heard that song, they rushed upon Timmy +Tiptoes and cuffed and scratched him, and upset his bag of nuts. The +innocent little bird which had caused all the mischief, flew away in a +fright! + +Timmy rolled over and over, and then turned tail and fled towards his +nest, followed by a crowd of squirrels shouting--"Who's-been digging-up +_my_-nuts?" + +[Illustration] + +They caught him and dragged him up the very same tree, where there was the +little round hole, and they pushed him in. The hole was much too small for +Timmy Tiptoes' figure. They squeezed him dreadfully, it was a wonder they +did not break his ribs. "We will leave him here till he confesses," said +Silvertail Squirrel, and he shouted into the hole-- + +"Who's-been-digging-up _my_-nuts?" + +[Illustration] + +Timmy Tiptoes made no reply; he had tumbled down inside the tree, upon +half a peck of nuts belonging to himself. He lay quite stunned and still. + +[Illustration] + +Goody Tiptoes picked up the nut bags and went home. She made a cup of tea +for Timmy; but he didn't come and didn't come. + +Goody Tiptoes passed a lonely and unhappy night. Next morning she ventured +back to the nut-bushes to look for him; but the other unkind squirrels +drove her away. + +She wandered all over the wood, calling-- + +"Timmy Tiptoes! Timmy Tiptoes! Oh, where is Timmy Tiptoes?" + +[Illustration] + +In the meantime Timmy Tiptoes came to his senses. He found himself tucked +up in a little moss bed, very much in the dark, feeling sore; it seemed to +be under ground. Timmy coughed and groaned, because his ribs hurted him. +There was a chirpy noise, and a small striped Chipmunk appeared with a +night light, and hoped he felt better? + +It was most kind to Timmy Tiptoes; it lent him its night-cap; and the +house was full of provisions. + +[Illustration] + +The Chipmunk explained that it had rained nuts through the top of the +tree--"Besides, I found a few buried!" It laughed and chuckled when it +heard Timmy's story. While Timmy was confined to bed, it 'ticed him to eat +quantities--"But how shall I ever get out through that hole unless I thin +myself? My wife will be anxious!" "Just another nut--or two nuts; let me +crack them for you," said the Chipmunk. Timmy Tiptoes grew fatter and +fatter! + +[Illustration] + +Now Goody Tiptoes had set to work again by herself. She did not put any +more nuts into the woodpecker's hole, because she had always doubted how +they could be got out again. She hid them under a tree root; they rattled +down, down, down. Once when Goody emptied an extra big bagful, there was a +decided squeak; and next time Goody brought another bagful, a little +striped Chipmunk scrambled out in a hurry. + + +[Illustration] + +"It is getting perfectly full-up down-stairs; the sitting-room is full, +and they are rolling along the passage; and my husband, Chippy Hackee, has +run away and left me. What is the explanation of these showers of nuts?" + +"I am sure I beg your pardon; I did not know that anybody lived here," +said Mrs. Goody Tiptoes; "but where is Chippy Hackee? My husband, Timmy +Tiptoes, has run away too." "I know where Chippy is; a little bird told +me," said Mrs. Chippy Hackee. + +[Illustration] + +She led the way to the woodpecker's tree, and they listened at the hole. + +Down below there was a noise of nut crackers, and a fat squirrel voice and +a thin squirrel voice were singing together-- + + "My little old man and I fell out, + How shall we bring this matter about? + Bring it about as well as you can, + And get you gone, you little old man!" + +[Illustration] + +"You could squeeze in, through that little round hole," said Goody +Tiptoes. "Yes, I could," said the Chipmunk, "but my husband, Chippy +Hackee, bites!" + +Down below there was a noise of cracking nuts and nibbling; and then the +fat squirrel voice and the thin squirrel voice sang-- + + "For the diddlum day + Day diddle dum di! + Day diddle diddle dum day!" + +[Illustration] + +Then Goody peeped in at the hole, and called down--"Timmy Tiptoes! Oh fie, +Timmy Tiptoes!" And Timmy replied, "Is that you, Goody Tiptoes? Why, +certainly!" + +He came up and kissed Goody through the hole; but he was so fat that he +could not get out. + +Chippy Hackee was not too fat, but he did not want to come; he stayed down +below and chuckled. + +[Illustration] + +And so it went on for a fortnight; 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. + +[Illustration] + +But Chippy Hackee continued to camp out for another week, although it was +uncomfortable. + +[Illustration] + +At last a large bear came walking through the wood. Perhaps he also was +looking for nuts; he seemed to be sniffing around. + +[Illustration] + +Chippy Hackee went home in a hurry! + +[Illustration] + +And when Chippy Hackee got home, he found he had caught a cold in his +head; and he was more uncomfortable still. + +[Illustration] + +And now Timmy and Goody Tiptoes keep their nut-store fastened up with a +little padlock. + +[Illustration] + +And whenever that little bird sees the Chipmunks, he +sings--"Who's-been-digging-up _my_-nuts?

He had a nest thatched with leaves in the top of a tall +tree; and he had a little squirrel wife called Goody.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/11.jpg"><img src="./images/11-tb.jpg" alt="Goody" title="Goody" /></a></p> + +<p>Timmy Tiptoes sat out, enjoying the breeze; he whisked his tail and +chuckled—"Little wife Goody, the nuts are ripe; we must lay up a store +for winter and spring." Goody Tiptoes was busy pushing moss under the +thatch—"The nest is so snug, we shall be sound asleep all winter." "Then +we shall wake up all the thinner, when there is nothing to eat in +spring-time," replied prudent Timothy.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/12.jpg"><img src="./images/12-tb.jpg" alt="Working Alone" title="Working Alone" /></a></p> + +<p>When Timmy and Goody Tiptoes came to the nut thicket, they found other +squirrels were there already.</p> + +<p>Timmy took off his jacket and hung it on a twig; they worked away quietly +by themselves.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/15.jpg"><img src="./images/15-tb.jpg" alt="Storing Nuts in Hollows" title="Storing Nuts in Hollows" /></a></p> + +<p>Every day they made several journeys and picked quantities of nuts. They +carried them away in bags, and stored them in several hollow stumps near +the tree where they had built their nest.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/16.jpg"><img src="./images/16-tb.jpg" alt="Storing in a High Tree" title="Storing in a High Tree" /></a></p> + + +<p>When these stumps were full, they began to empty the bags into a hole high +up a tree, that had belonged to a wood-pecker; the nuts rattled +down—down—down inside.</p> + +<p>"How shall you ever get them out again? It is like a money-box!" said +Goody.</p> + +<p>"I shall be much thinner before spring-time, my love," said Timmy Tiptoes, +peeping into the hole.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/19.jpg"><img src="./images/19-tb.jpg" alt="Silvertail" title="Silvertail" /></a></p> + + +<p>They did collect quantities—because they did not lose them! Squirrels who +bury their nuts in the ground lose more than half, because they cannot +remember the place.</p> + +<p>The most forgetful squirrel in the wood was called Silvertail. He began to +dig, and he could not remember. And then he dug again and found some nuts +that did not belong to him; and there was a fight. And other squirrels +began to dig,—the whole wood was in commotion!</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/20.jpg"><img src="./images/20-tb.jpg" alt="A Bird Sings" title="A Bird Sings" /></a></p> + +<p>Unfortunately, just at this time a flock of little birds flew by, from +bush to bush, searching for green caterpillars and spiders. There were +several sorts of little birds, twittering different songs.</p> + +<p>The first one sang—"Who's bin digging-up <i>my</i> nuts? Who's-been-digging-up +<i>my</i> nuts?"</p> + +<p>And another sang—"Little bita bread and-<i>no</i>-cheese! Little bit-a-bread +an'-<i>no</i>-cheese!"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/23.jpg"><img src="./images/23-tb.jpg" alt="Tying Bags of Nuts" title="Tying Bags of Nuts" /></a></p> + + +<p>The squirrels followed and listened. The first little bird flew into the +bush where Timmy and Goody Tiptoes were quietly tying up their bags, and +it sang—"Who's-bin digging-up <i>my</i> nuts? Who's been digging-up +<i>my</i>-nuts?"</p> + +<p>Timmy Tiptoes went on with his work without replying; indeed, the little +bird did not expect an answer. It was only singing its natural song, and +it meant nothing at all.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/24.jpg"><img src="./images/24-tb.jpg" alt="Chasing Timmy" title="Chasing Timmy" /></a></p> + +<p>But when the other squirrels heard that song, they rushed upon Timmy +Tiptoes and cuffed and scratched him, and upset his bag of nuts. The +innocent little bird which had caused all the mischief, flew away in a +fright!</p> + +<p>Timmy rolled over and over, and then turned tail and fled towards his +nest, followed by a crowd of squirrels shouting—"Who's-been digging-up +<i>my</i>-nuts?"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/27.jpg"><img src="./images/27-tb.jpg" alt="Pushed Into the Hole" title="Pushed Into the Hole" /></a></p> + + +<p>They caught him and dragged him up the very same tree, where there was the +little round hole, and they pushed him in. The hole was much too small for +Timmy Tiptoes' figure. They squeezed him dreadfully, it was a wonder they +did not break his ribs. "We will leave him here till he confesses," said +Silvertail Squirrel, and he shouted into the hole—</p> + +<p>"Who's-been-digging-up <i>my</i>-nuts?"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/28.jpg"><img src="./images/28-tb.jpg" alt="Lying on the Nuts" title="Lying on the Nuts" /></a></p> + +<p>Timmy Tiptoes made no reply; he had tumbled down inside the tree, upon +half a peck of nuts belonging to himself. He lay quite stunned and still.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/31.jpg"><img src="./images/31-tb.jpg" alt="Looking for Timmy" title="Looking for Timmy" /></a></p> + + +<p>Goody Tiptoes picked up the nut bags and went home. She made a cup of tea +for Timmy; but he didn't come and didn't come.</p> + +<p>Goody Tiptoes passed a lonely and unhappy night. Next morning she ventured +back to the nut-bushes to look for him; but the other unkind squirrels +drove her away.</p> + +<p>She wandered all over the wood, calling—</p> + +<p>"Timmy Tiptoes! Timmy Tiptoes! Oh, where is Timmy Tiptoes?"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/32.jpg"><img src="./images/32-tb.jpg" alt="Tucked in Bed" title="Tucked in Bed" /></a></p> + +<p>In the meantime Timmy Tiptoes came to his senses. He found himself tucked +up in a little moss bed, very much in the dark, feeling sore; it seemed to +be under ground. Timmy coughed and groaned, because his ribs hurted him. +There was a chirpy noise, and a small striped Chipmunk appeared with a +night light, and hoped he felt better?</p> + +<p>It was most kind to Timmy Tiptoes; it lent him its night-cap; and the +house was full of provisions.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/35.jpg"><img src="./images/35-tb.jpg" alt="The Chipmunk" title="The Chipmunk" /></a></p> + +<p>The Chipmunk explained that it had rained nuts through the top of the +tree—"Besides, I found a few buried!" It laughed and chuckled when it +heard Timmy's story. While Timmy was confined to bed, it 'ticed him to eat +quantities—"But how shall I ever get out through that hole unless I thin +myself? My wife will be anxious!" "Just another nut—or two nuts; let me +crack them for you," said the Chipmunk. Timmy Tiptoes grew fatter and +fatter!</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/36.jpg"><img src="./images/36-tb.jpg" alt="Goody Gathers" title="Goody Gathers" /></a></p> + +<p>Now Goody Tiptoes had set to work again by herself. She did not put any +more nuts into the woodpecker's hole, because she had always doubted how +they could be got out again. She hid them under a tree root; they rattled +down, down, down. Once when Goody emptied an extra big bagful, there was a +decided squeak; and next time Goody brought another bagful, a little +striped Chipmunk scrambled out in a hurry.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/39.jpg"><img src="./images/39-tb.jpg" alt="Meeting Mrs. Hackee" title="Meeting Mrs. Hackee" /></a></p> + +<p>"It is getting perfectly full-up down-stairs; the sitting-room is full, +and they are rolling along the passage; and my husband, Chippy Hackee, has +run away and left me. What is the explanation of these showers of nuts?"</p> + +<p>"I am sure I beg your pardon; I did not know that anybody lived here," +said Mrs. Goody Tiptoes; "but where is Chippy Hackee? My husband, Timmy +Tiptoes, has run away too." "I know where Chippy is; a little bird told +me," said Mrs. Chippy Hackee.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/40.jpg"><img src="./images/40-tb.jpg" alt="Listening at the Hole" title="Listening at the Hole" /></a></p> + +<p>She led the way to the woodpecker's tree, and they listened at the hole.</p> + +<p>Down below there was a noise of nut crackers, and a fat squirrel voice and +a thin squirrel voice were singing together—</p> + +<p> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">"My little old man and I fell out,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">How shall we bring this matter about?</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">Bring it about as well as you can,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">And get you gone, you little old man!"</span><br /> +</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/43.jpg"><img src="./images/43-tb.jpg" alt="Discussing What to Do" title="Discussing What to Do" /></a></p> + +<p>"You could squeeze in, through that little round hole," said Goody +Tiptoes. "Yes, I could," said the Chipmunk, "but my husband, Chippy +Hackee, bites!"</p> + +<p>Down below there was a noise of cracking nuts and nibbling; and then the +fat squirrel voice and the thin squirrel voice sang—</p> + +<p> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">"For the diddlum day</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">Day diddle dum di!</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">Day diddle diddle dum day!"</span><br /> +</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/44.jpg"><img src="./images/44-tb.jpg" alt="Timmy Sees Goody" title="Timmy Sees Goody" /></a></p> + + +<p>Then Goody peeped in at the hole, and called down—"Timmy Tiptoes!

He had a nest thatched with leaves in the top of a tall +tree; and he had a little squirrel wife called Goody.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/11.jpg"><img src="./images/11-tb.jpg" alt="Goody" title="Goody" /></a></p> + +<p>Timmy Tiptoes sat out, enjoying the breeze; he whisked his tail and +chuckled—"Little wife Goody, the nuts are ripe; we must lay up a store +for winter and spring." Goody Tiptoes was busy pushing moss under the +thatch—"The nest is so snug, we shall be sound asleep all winter." "Then +we shall wake up all the thinner, when there is nothing to eat in +spring-time," replied prudent Timothy.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/12.jpg"><img src="./images/12-tb.jpg" alt="Working Alone" title="Working Alone" /></a></p> + +<p>When Timmy and Goody Tiptoes came to the nut thicket, they found other +squirrels were there already.</p> + +<p>Timmy took off his jacket and hung it on a twig; they worked away quietly +by themselves.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/15.jpg"><img src="./images/15-tb.jpg" alt="Storing Nuts in Hollows" title="Storing Nuts in Hollows" /></a></p> + +<p>Every day they made several journeys and picked quantities of nuts. They +carried them away in bags, and stored them in several hollow stumps near +the tree where they had built their nest.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/16.jpg"><img src="./images/16-tb.jpg" alt="Storing in a High Tree" title="Storing in a High Tree" /></a></p> + + +<p>When these stumps were full, they began to empty the bags into a hole high +up a tree, that had belonged to a wood-pecker; the nuts rattled +down—down—down inside.</p> + +<p>"How shall you ever get them out again? It is like a money-box!" said +Goody.</p> + +<p>"I shall be much thinner before spring-time, my love," said Timmy Tiptoes, +peeping into the hole.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/19.jpg"><img src="./images/19-tb.jpg" alt="Silvertail" title="Silvertail" /></a></p> + + +<p>They did collect quantities—because they did not lose them! Squirrels who +bury their nuts in the ground lose more than half, because they cannot +remember the place.</p> + +<p>The most forgetful squirrel in the wood was called Silvertail. He began to +dig, and he could not remember. And then he dug again and found some nuts +that did not belong to him; and there was a fight. And other squirrels +began to dig,—the whole wood was in commotion!</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/20.jpg"><img src="./images/20-tb.jpg" alt="A Bird Sings" title="A Bird Sings" /></a></p> + +<p>Unfortunately, just at this time a flock of little birds flew by, from +bush to bush, searching for green caterpillars and spiders. There were +several sorts of little birds, twittering different songs.</p> + +<p>The first one sang—"Who's bin digging-up <i>my</i> nuts? Who's-been-digging-up +<i>my</i> nuts?"</p> + +<p>And another sang—"Little bita bread and-<i>no</i>-cheese! Little bit-a-bread +an'-<i>no</i>-cheese!"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/23.jpg"><img src="./images/23-tb.jpg" alt="Tying Bags of Nuts" title="Tying Bags of Nuts" /></a></p> + + +<p>The squirrels followed and listened. The first little bird flew into the +bush where Timmy and Goody Tiptoes were quietly tying up their bags, and +it sang—"Who's-bin digging-up <i>my</i> nuts? Who's been digging-up +<i>my</i>-nuts?"</p> + +<p>Timmy Tiptoes went on with his work without replying; indeed, the little +bird did not expect an answer. It was only singing its natural song, and +it meant nothing at all.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/24.jpg"><img src="./images/24-tb.jpg" alt="Chasing Timmy" title="Chasing Timmy" /></a></p> + +<p>But when the other squirrels heard that song, they rushed upon Timmy +Tiptoes and cuffed and scratched him, and upset his bag of nuts. The +innocent little bird which had caused all the mischief, flew away in a +fright!</p> + +<p>Timmy rolled over and over, and then turned tail and fled towards his +nest, followed by a crowd of squirrels shouting—"Who's-been digging-up +<i>my</i>-nuts?"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/27.jpg"><img src="./images/27-tb.jpg" alt="Pushed Into the Hole" title="Pushed Into the Hole" /></a></p> + + +<p>They caught him and dragged him up the very same tree, where there was the +little round hole, and they pushed him in. The hole was much too small for +Timmy Tiptoes' figure. They squeezed him dreadfully, it was a wonder they +did not break his ribs. "We will leave him here till he confesses," said +Silvertail Squirrel, and he shouted into the hole—</p> + +<p>"Who's-been-digging-up <i>my</i>-nuts?"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/28.jpg"><img src="./images/28-tb.jpg" alt="Lying on the Nuts" title="Lying on the Nuts" /></a></p> + +<p>Timmy Tiptoes made no reply; he had tumbled down inside the tree, upon +half a peck of nuts belonging to himself. He lay quite stunned and still.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/31.jpg"><img src="./images/31-tb.jpg" alt="Looking for Timmy" title="Looking for Timmy" /></a></p> + + +<p>Goody Tiptoes picked up the nut bags and went home. She made a cup of tea +for Timmy; but he didn't come and didn't come.</p> + +<p>Goody Tiptoes passed a lonely and unhappy night. Next morning she ventured +back to the nut-bushes to look for him; but the other unkind squirrels +drove her away.</p> + +<p>She wandered all over the wood, calling—</p> + +<p>"Timmy Tiptoes! Timmy Tiptoes! Oh, where is Timmy Tiptoes?"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/32.jpg"><img src="./images/32-tb.jpg" alt="Tucked in Bed" title="Tucked in Bed" /></a></p> + +<p>In the meantime Timmy Tiptoes came to his senses. He found himself tucked +up in a little moss bed, very much in the dark, feeling sore; it seemed to +be under ground. Timmy coughed and groaned, because his ribs hurted him. +There was a chirpy noise, and a small striped Chipmunk appeared with a +night light, and hoped he felt better?</p> + +<p>It was most kind to Timmy Tiptoes; it lent him its night-cap; and the +house was full of provisions.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/35.jpg"><img src="./images/35-tb.jpg" alt="The Chipmunk" title="The Chipmunk" /></a></p> + +<p>The Chipmunk explained that it had rained nuts through the top of the +tree—"Besides, I found a few buried!" It laughed and chuckled when it +heard Timmy's story. While Timmy was confined to bed, it 'ticed him to eat +quantities—"But how shall I ever get out through that hole unless I thin +myself? My wife will be anxious!" "Just another nut—or two nuts; let me +crack them for you," said the Chipmunk. Timmy Tiptoes grew fatter and +fatter!</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/36.jpg"><img src="./images/36-tb.jpg" alt="Goody Gathers" title="Goody Gathers" /></a></p> + +<p>Now Goody Tiptoes had set to work again by herself. She did not put any +more nuts into the woodpecker's hole, because she had always doubted how +they could be got out again. She hid them under a tree root; they rattled +down, down, down. Once when Goody emptied an extra big bagful, there was a +decided squeak; and next time Goody brought another bagful, a little +striped Chipmunk scrambled out in a hurry.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/39.jpg"><img src="./images/39-tb.jpg" alt="Meeting Mrs. Hackee" title="Meeting Mrs. Hackee" /></a></p> + +<p>"It is getting perfectly full-up down-stairs; the sitting-room is full, +and they are rolling along the passage; and my husband, Chippy Hackee, has +run away and left me. What is the explanation of these showers of nuts?"</p> + +<p>"I am sure I beg your pardon; I did not know that anybody lived here," +said Mrs. Goody Tiptoes; "but where is Chippy Hackee? My husband, Timmy +Tiptoes, has run away too." "I know where Chippy is; a little bird told +me," said Mrs. Chippy Hackee.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/40.jpg"><img src="./images/40-tb.jpg" alt="Listening at the Hole" title="Listening at the Hole" /></a></p> + +<p>She led the way to the woodpecker's tree, and they listened at the hole.</p> + +<p>Down below there was a noise of nut crackers, and a fat squirrel voice and +a thin squirrel voice were singing together—</p> + +<p> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">"My little old man and I fell out,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">How shall we bring this matter about?</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">Bring it about as well as you can,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">And get you gone, you little old man!"</span><br /> +</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/43.jpg"><img src="./images/43-tb.jpg" alt="Discussing What to Do" title="Discussing What to Do" /></a></p> + +<p>"You could squeeze in, through that little round hole," said Goody +Tiptoes. "Yes, I could," said the Chipmunk, "but my husband, Chippy +Hackee, bites!"</p> + +<p>Down below there was a noise of cracking nuts and nibbling; and then the +fat squirrel voice and the thin squirrel voice sang—</p> + +<p> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">"For the diddlum day</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">Day diddle dum di!</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2.5em;">Day diddle diddle dum day!"</span><br /> +</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="./images/44.jpg"><img src="./images/44-tb.jpg" alt="Timmy Sees Goody" title="Timmy Sees Goody" /></a></p> + + +<p>Then Goody peeped in at the hole, and called down—"Timmy Tiptoes!

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/old/14797-h/images/11-tb.jpg b/old/14797-h/images/11-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode

BY +PRINCETON POLYCHROME PRESS + + +BINDING BY +A. HOROWITZ & SON + + + + +FOR + +MANY UNKNOWN LITTLE FRIENDS, + +INCLUDING MONICA + + +[Illustration] + + +Once upon a time there was a little fat comfortable grey squirrel, called +Timmy Tiptoes. He had a nest thatched with leaves in the top of a tall +tree; and he had a little squirrel wife called Goody. + +[Illustration] + +Timmy Tiptoes sat out, enjoying the breeze; he whisked his tail and +chuckled--"Little wife Goody, the nuts are ripe; we must lay up a store +for winter and spring." Goody Tiptoes was busy pushing moss under the +thatch--"The nest is so snug, we shall be sound asleep all winter." "Then +we shall wake up all the thinner, when there is nothing to eat in +spring-time," replied prudent Timothy. + +[Illustration] + +When Timmy and Goody Tiptoes came to the nut thicket, they found other +squirrels were there already. + +Timmy took off his jacket and hung it on a twig; they worked away quietly +by themselves. + +[Illustration] + +Every day they made several journeys and picked quantities of nuts. They +carried them away in bags, and stored them in several hollow stumps near +the tree where they had built their nest. + +[Illustration] + +When these stumps were full, they began to empty the bags into a hole high +up a tree, that had belonged to a wood-pecker; the nuts rattled +down--down--down inside. + +"How shall you ever get them out again? It is like a money-box!" said +Goody. + +"I shall be much thinner before spring-time, my love," said Timmy Tiptoes, +peeping into the hole. + +[Illustration] + +They did collect quantities--because they did not lose them! Squirrels who +bury their nuts in the ground lose more than half, because they cannot +remember the place. + +The most forgetful squirrel in the wood was called Silvertail. He began to +dig, and he could not remember. And then he dug again and found some nuts +that did not belong to him; and there was a fight. And other squirrels +began to dig,--the whole wood was in commotion! + +[Illustration] + +Unfortunately, just at this time a flock of little birds flew by, from +bush to bush, searching for green caterpillars and spiders. There were +several sorts of little birds, twittering different songs. + +The first one sang--"Who's bin digging-up _my_ nuts? Who's-been-digging-up +_my_ nuts?" + +And another sang--"Little bita bread and-_no_-cheese! Little bit-a-bread +an'-_no_-cheese!" + +[Illustration] + +The squirrels followed and listened. The first little bird flew into the +bush where Timmy and Goody Tiptoes were quietly tying up their bags, and +it sang--"Who's-bin digging-up _my_ nuts? Who's been digging-up +_my_-nuts?" + +Timmy Tiptoes went on with his work without replying; indeed, the little +bird did not expect an answer. It was only singing its natural song, and +it meant nothing at all. + +[Illustration] + +But when the other squirrels heard that song, they rushed upon Timmy +Tiptoes and cuffed and scratched him, and upset his bag of nuts. The +innocent little bird which had caused all the mischief, flew away in a +fright! + +Timmy rolled over and over, and then turned tail and fled towards his +nest, followed by a crowd of squirrels shouting--"Who's-been digging-up +_my_-nuts?" + +[Illustration] + +They caught him and dragged him up the very same tree, where there was the +little round hole, and they pushed him in. The hole was much too small for +Timmy Tiptoes' figure. They squeezed him dreadfully, it was a wonder they +did not break his ribs. "We will leave him here till he confesses," said +Silvertail Squirrel, and he shouted into the hole-- + +"Who's-been-digging-up _my_-nuts?" + +[Illustration] + +Timmy Tiptoes made no reply; he had tumbled down inside the tree, upon +half a peck of nuts belonging to himself. He lay quite stunned and still. + +[Illustration] + +Goody Tiptoes picked up the nut bags and went home. She made a cup of tea +for Timmy; but he didn't come and didn't come. + +Goody Tiptoes passed a lonely and unhappy night. Next morning she ventured +back to the nut-bushes to look for him; but the other unkind squirrels +drove her away. + +She wandered all over the wood, calling-- + +"Timmy Tiptoes! Timmy Tiptoes! Oh, where is Timmy Tiptoes?" + +[Illustration] + +In the meantime Timmy Tiptoes came to his senses. He found himself tucked +up in a little moss bed, very much in the dark, feeling sore; it seemed to +be under ground. Timmy coughed and groaned, because his ribs hurted him. +There was a chirpy noise, and a small striped Chipmunk appeared with a +night light, and hoped he felt better? + +It was most kind to Timmy Tiptoes; it lent him its night-cap; and the +house was full of provisions. + +[Illustration] + +The Chipmunk explained that it had rained nuts through the top of the +tree--"Besides, I found a few buried!" It laughed and chuckled when it +heard Timmy's story. While Timmy was confined to bed, it 'ticed him to eat +quantities--"But how shall I ever get out through that hole unless I thin +myself? My wife will be anxious!" "Just another nut--or two nuts; let me +crack them for you," said the Chipmunk. Timmy Tiptoes grew fatter and +fatter! + +[Illustration] + +Now Goody Tiptoes had set to work again by herself. She did not put any +more nuts into the woodpecker's hole, because she had always doubted how +they could be got out again. She hid them under a tree root; they rattled +down, down, down. Once when Goody emptied an extra big bagful, there was a +decided squeak; and next time Goody brought another bagful, a little +striped Chipmunk scrambled out in a hurry. + + +[Illustration] + +"It is getting perfectly full-up down-stairs; the sitting-room is full, +and they are rolling along the passage; and my husband, Chippy Hackee, has +run away and left me. What is the explanation of these showers of nuts?" + +"I am sure I beg your pardon; I did not know that anybody lived here," +said Mrs. Goody Tiptoes; "but where is Chippy Hackee? My husband, Timmy +Tiptoes, has run away too." "I know where Chippy is; a little bird told +me," said Mrs. Chippy Hackee. + +[Illustration] + +She led the way to the woodpecker's tree, and they listened at the hole. + +Down below there was a noise of nut crackers, and a fat squirrel voice and +a thin squirrel voice were singing together-- + + "My little old man and I fell out, + How shall we bring this matter about? + Bring it about as well as you can, + And get you gone, you little old man!" + +[Illustration] + +"You could squeeze in, through that little round hole," said Goody +Tiptoes. "Yes, I could," said the Chipmunk, "but my husband, Chippy +Hackee, bites!" + +Down below there was a noise of cracking nuts and nibbling; and then the +fat squirrel voice and the thin squirrel voice sang-- + + "For the diddlum day + Day diddle dum di! + Day diddle diddle dum day!" + +[Illustration] + +Then Goody peeped in at the hole, and called down--"Timmy Tiptoes! Oh fie, +Timmy Tiptoes!" And Timmy replied, "Is that you, Goody Tiptoes? Why, +certainly!" + +He came up and kissed Goody through the hole; but he was so fat that he +could not get out. + +Chippy Hackee was not too fat, but he did not want to come; he stayed down +below and chuckled. + +[Illustration] + +And so it went on for a fortnight; 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. + +[Illustration] + +But Chippy Hackee continued to camp out for another week, although it was +uncomfortable. + +[Illustration] + +At last a large bear came walking through the wood. Perhaps he also was +looking for nuts; he seemed to be sniffing around. + +[Illustration] + +Chippy Hackee went home in a hurry! + +[Illustration] + +And when Chippy Hackee got home, he found he had caught a cold in his +head; and he was more uncomfortable still. + +[Illustration] + +And now Timmy and Goody Tiptoes keep their nut-store fastened up with a +little padlock. + +[Illustration] + +And whenever that little bird sees the Chipmunks, he +sings--"Who's-been-digging-up _my_-nuts? Who's been digging-up _my_-nuts?" +But nobody ever answers! + + +THE END + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes, by Beatrix Potter + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TIMMY TIPTOES *** + +***** This file should be named 14797.txt or 14797.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/4/7/9/14797/ + +Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Emmy and the PG Online Distributed +Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net). + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/14797.zip b/old/14797.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7285135 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14797.zip |
