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. 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
him went Shadow the Weasel. Shadow had been so intent on catching Chatterer that he had not noticed old Redtail, which was just as Chatterer had hoped. Up, up he scrambled, straight past old Redtail, but as he passed, he pulled one of Redtail's long tail feathers, and then ran on to the top of the tree, and with the last bit of strength he had left, leaped to a neighboring spruce-tree where, hidden by the thick branches, he stopped to rest and see what would happen. Of course, when he felt his tail pulled, old Redtail was wide awake in a flash; and of course he looked down to see who had dared to pull his tail. There just below him was Shadow the Weasel, who had just that minute discovered who was sitting there. Old Redtail 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. CHANCE UP THE TREE HE SCRAMBLED AND AFTER HIM WENT SHADOW THE WEASEL SHADOW HAD BEEN SO INTENT ON CATCHING CHATTERER THAT HE HAD NOT NOTICED OLD REDTAIL WHICH WAS JUST AS CHATTERER HAD HOPED UP UP HE SCRAMBLED STRAIGHT PAST OLD REDTAIL BUT AS HE PASSED HE PULLED ONE OF REDTAIL'S LONG TAIL FEATHERS AND THEN RAN ON TOP OF THE TREE AND WITH THE LAST BIT OF STRENGTH HE HAD LEFT LEAPED TO A NEIGHBORING SPRUCE TREE WHERE HIDDEN BY THE THICK BRANCHES HE STOPPED TO REST AND SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN OF COURSE HE FELT HIS TAIL COLD OLD REDTAIL WAS WIDE AWAKE IN A FLASH AND OF COURSE HE LOOKED DOWN TO SEE WHO HAD DARED TO PULL HIS TAIL THERE JUST BELOW HIM WAS SHADOW THE WEASEL WHO HAD JUST THAT MINUTE DISCOVERED WHO WAS SITTING THERE OLD REDTAIL 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
