" oh, you careless ,careless brownie! " shouted snippy in a rage . " look at that !"
"Well ,pick them up then ," said snappy .
"it was your own fault ,shouting at me like that and making me jump . How was I to know I'd jump right into your silly basket ?"
"It isn't a silly basket !" roared snippy .
"It's better than yours . and how can I pick up my blackberries when they have rolled over an ants' nest and ants are nibbling them all ?"
" They won't hurt you ," said snappy . " you just give me some of your blackberries !" cried snippy , and he ran at snappy . But the brownie was too quick for him , and he tore off through the woods with his basket .Snippy stopped , out of breath . He knew he would never catch snappy . He went back to his blackberries.
"oh dear !" he groaned in dismay . " Now the wasps have found them too .I really daren't pick them up . I'd pick up handful of ants and wasps ad well ! They'll have to stay there ! Bother Snappy ! He'll have a fine blackberry tart - and I won't have my blackberry pudding after all!" Snippy picked up his empty basket and went Slowly home . The more he thought about Snappy's blackberry tart the angrier he became .
