Chatterer, watching from the spruce tree, gave a great sigh of relief. He saw Redtail the Hawk post himself on the top of a tall tree where he could keep watch of that hollow in which Shadow had disappeared, and he knew that it would be a long time before Shadow would dare poke even his nose outside. CHATTER WATCHING FROM THE SPRUCE TREE GAVE A GREAT SIGH OF RELIEF HE SAW REDTAIL THE HAWK POST HIMSELF ON TOP OF A TALL TREE WHERE HE COULD KEEP WATCH OF THAT HOLLOW IN WHICH SHADOW HAD DISAPPEARED AND HE KNEW THAT WOULD BE A LONG TIME BEFORE SHADOW WOULD DARE TO POKE EVEN HIS NOSE OUTSIDE
feathers on the top of his head stood up in a way they do when he is angry. And he was angry--very angry. Shadow the Weasel stopped short. Then, like a flash, he dodged around to the other side of the tree. He had no thought of Chatterer now. Things were changed all in an instant, quite changed. Instead of the hunter, he was now the hunted. Old Redtail circled in the air just overhead, and every time he caught sight of Shadow, he swooped at him with great, cruel claws spread to clutch him. Shadow dodged around the trunk of the tree. He was more angry than frightened, for his sharp eyes had spied a little hollow in a branch of the chestnut-tree, and he knew that once inside of that, he would have nothing to fear. But he was angry clear through to think that he should be cheated out of that dinner he had been so sure of only a few minutes before. So he screeched angrily at old Redtail and then, watching his chance, scampered out to the hollow and whisked inside, just in the nick of time. IL HISSED SHARPLY AND THE FEATHERS ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD STOOD UP IN A WAY THEY DO WHEN HE IS ANGRY AND HE WAS ANGRY VERY ANGRY SHADOW THE WEASEL STOPPED SHORT THEN LIKE A FLASH HE DODGED AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TREE HE HAD NO THOUGHT OF CHATTERER NOW THINGS WERE CHANGED ALL IN AN INSTANT QUITE CHANGED INSTEAD OF THE HUNTER HE WAS NOW THE HUNTED OLD RED TAIL CIRCLED IN THE AIR JUST OVERHEAD AND EVERY TIME HE CAUGHT SIGHT OF SHADOW HE SWOOPED AT HIM WITH GREAT CRUEL CLAWS SPREAD TO CLUTCH HIM SHADOW DODGED AROUND THE TRUNK OF THE TREE HE WAS MORE ANGRY THAN FRIGHTENED FOR HIS SHARP EYES HAD BUYED A LITTLE HOLLOW IN THE RIDGE OF A CHESTNUT TREE AND HE KNEW THAT ONCE INSIDE OF THAT HE WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR BUT HE WAS ANGRY CLEAR THROUGH TO THINK THAT HE SHOULD BE CHEATED OUT OF THAT DINNER HE HAD BEEN SO SURE OF ONLY A FEW MINUTES BEFORE SO HE SCREECHED ANGRILY AT OLD REDTAIL AND THEN WATCHING HIS CHANCE SCIGGERED OUT TO THE HOLLOW AND WHISKED INSIDE JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME
