But he was all out of breath , and so frightened and tired that all he could do was to kick and kick . He had n't seen Jimmy at all , for he had been looking behind him , and he did n't even know who it was he had run into . Right behind him came Mr. Blacksnake . Of course he saw Jimmy , and he stopped short and hissed angrily . `` What were you going to do to Mr. Toad ? '' demanded Jimmy . `` None of your business ! '' hissed Mr. Blacksnake . `` Get out of my way , or you 'll be sorry . '' Jimmy Skunk just laughed and stepped in front of poor Old Mr. Toad . Mr. Blacksnake coiled himself up in the path and darted his tongue out at Jimmy in the most impudent way . Then he tried to make himself look very fierce . Then he jumped straight at Jimmy Skunk with his mouth wide open , but he took great care not to jump quite far enough to reach Jimmy . You see , he was just trying to scare Jimmy . But Jimmy did n't scare . He knows all about Mr. Blacksnake and that really he is a coward . So he suddenly gritted his teeth in a way not at all pleasant to hear and started for Mr. Blacksnake . Mr. Blacksnake did n't wait . No , Sir , he did n't wait . He suddenly turned and glided back up the Crooked Little Path , hissing angrily .
Jimmy followed him a little XXXXX , and then he went back to Old Mr. Toad .
