It seemed to Chatterer, and to Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, and to Peter Rabbit, and to Sammy Jay, and to Blacky the Crow, all of whom had seen him do it, as if it were the very bravest thing they ever had seen, and their respect for Tommy Tit grew wonderfully. But Tommy Tit himself didn't think it brave at all. No, Sir, Tommy knew better. IT SEEMED TO CHATTERER AND TO HAPPY JACK A GRAY SQUIRREL AND TO PETER RABBIT AND TO BLACKY THE CROW ALL OF WHOM HAD SEEN HIM DO IT AS IF IT WERE THE BRAVEST THING THEY EVER SEEN AND THEIR RESPECT FOR TOMMY GREW WONDERFULLY BUT TOMMY HIMSELF DIDN'T THINK HIM BRAVE AT ALL NO SIR TOMMY KNEW BETTER
sat Tommy Tit. "Dee, dee, dee, chickadee! See me! See me!" called Tommy Tit, and his voice was merrier than ever, for he had made good his boast. XXIII CHATTERER GROWS VERY, VERY BOLD "I'm not afraid. I am afraid. I'm not afraid. I am afraid. I'm not afraid." Chatterer kept saying these two things over and over and over again to himself. You see, he really was afraid, and he was trying to make himself believe that he wasn't afraid. He thought that perhaps if he said ever and ever so many times that he wasn't afraid, he might actually make himself believe it. The trouble was that every time he said it, a little voice, a little, truthful voice down inside, seemed to speak right up and tell him that he was afraid. Poor Chatterer! It hurt his pride to have to own to himself that he wasn't as brave as little Tommy Tit the Chickadee. His common sense told him that there was no reason in the world why he shouldn't be. Tommy Tit went every day and took food from the hand of Farmer Brown's boy.
