Oh, dear!" he sobbed, as he ran out on the branch of a tree and leaped across to the next tree, "I wish I had minded my own business! I wish I had kept my tongue still. Shadow the Weasel wouldn't have known where I was if he hadn't heard my voice. Oh, dear! oh, dear me! What can I do? What can I do?" Now in his great fright Chatterer had run and jumped so hard that he was beginning to grow very tired. Presently he found that he must make a very long jump to reach the next tree. He had often made as long a jump as this and thought nothing of it, but now he was so tired that the distance looked twice as great as it really was. He didn't dare stop to run down the tree and scamper across. So he took a long breath, ran swiftly along the branch, and leaped. His hands just touched the tip of the nearest branch of the other tree. He tried his very best to hold on, but he couldn't. Then down, down, down he fell. N AND RUN AS LONG AS HE COULD AND THEN WELL HE WOULD TRY TO FIGHT THOUGH HE KNEW IT WOULD BE OF NO USE OH DEAR OH DEAR HE SOBBED AS HE RAN OUT ON THE BRANCH OF A TREE AND LEAPED ACROSS TO THE NEXT TREE I WISH YOU HAD MINDED MY OWN BUSINESS I WISH I HAD KEPT MY TONGUE STILL SHOT THE WEASEL WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN WHERE I WAS IF YOU HADN'T HEARD MY VOICE OH DEAR OH DEAR ME WHAT CAN I DO WHAT CAN I DO NOW IN HIS GREAT FRIGHT CHATTERER HAD RUN AND JUMPED SO HARD THAT HE WAS BEGINNING TO GROW VERY TIRED PRESENTLY HE FOUND THAT HE MUST MAKE A VERY LONG JUMP TO REACH THE NEXT TREE HE HAD OFTEN MADE AS LONG A JUMP AS THIS AND THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT BUT NOW HE WAS SO TIRED THAT THE DISTANCE SEEMED TO LOOK TWICE AS GREAT AS IT REALLY WAS HE DIDN'T DARE STOP TO RUN DOWN THE TREE AND SCAMPER ACROSS SO HE TOOK A LONG BREATH RAN SWIFTLY ALONG THE BRANCH AND WEPED HIS HANDS JUST TOUCHED THE TIP OF THE NEAREST BRANCH OF THE OTHER TREE HE TRIED HIS VERY BEST TO HOLD ON BUT HE COULDN'T THEN DOWN DOWN HE FELL
