He cut a very funny figure sitting up there, with his wings spread out and drooping like a sick chicken. "I remember the time, too, when he had a singing-match with Brother Crow, and I nearly laughed myself to death over it." "Oh, tell us about it," cried Buster John. "There's nothing in it when it is told," replied Mr. Rabbit.
"I do believe that scamp Joe Otter is trying to get even with me for eating that fat trout!" And then, because Buster Bear always enjoys a good joke even when it is on himself, he laughed until he had to hold his sides, which is a whole lot better than going off in a rage as Little Joe Otter had done. "You're pretty smart, Mr. Otter!
As long as Buster didn't get his great paws on Danny, the latter was safe. Then, too, Danny is a very small person. He is so small that he can hide under two or three leaves.

"For God's sake, don't kill me!" implored Belllounds, stricken with terror. "Why not? Look around! My busy day, Buster!... An' for that Cap Folsom it's been ten years comin'.... I'm goin' to shoot you in the belly an' watch you get sick to your stomach!" Belllounds, with whisper, and hands, and face, begged for his life in an abjectness of sheer panic.

"Oh, I think the hay loft is nicer than our attic home, after all," laughed Silver Ears. "So it is," agreed Limpy-toes. "Because we are all living together," said Dot. "I think we have nicer things to eat," drawled Buster. "And we love to play with Wink and Wiggle," lisped Tiny. "Yes, my children, it is indeed a Merry Christmas this year," said Grand-daddy.
I can't move it!... Oh, but Buster Jack's ruined me!" The hunter pushed him back with gentle hands. "Wils, it might have been worse." "But I never gave up hope," replied Moore, in poignant grief. "I couldn't. But now!... How can you look at that that club-foot, and not swear?" "Well, well, boy, cussin' won't do any good. Now lay still an' let me work.

And soon he was knocking boldly at the door of the Carpenter's house. Pretty soon a mild-appearing person, who looked not a little like Buster himself, stepped through the doorway.
Toad was frightened almost to death when he heard the deep, grumbly-rumbly voice of Buster Bear, for he had been so busy watching the ants that he hadn't seen Buster coming.
