Just as Chicken Little, here, always wants milk when there is none, and always asks for tea when you offer her milk. "Well, 'cause I'm firsty, that's the reason," said the Chicken. Now, when Sukey said this, she was up in the loft, or second story, if you could call it story, of her father's house.
But Eugene's whole attention had been given to the milk and cakes. Now that his thirst was satisfied, he began to think about others, and for the first time found his voice. 'Mayn't Phebe have some milk and cake, too, please? he said. 'We've been a drefful long walk. I'm sure Phebe's firsty too.
And I'm afraid I'm beginning to be firsty too, and that's worser than being nungry. It always says so in shipwreck stories. They read us one at school the other day, and it said so. 'Eugene, how silly you are! said Frances, 'as if your feeling a little hungry and a tiny atom thirsty could compare with dreadful sufferings like sailors have.
Big Medicine wanted to know, when he had accomplished the thing without accident. "Oh, it'll do," was the frugal praise he got. "I've got to go and feed my string, now. And after a while I'll water him. You want to feed your horse always before you water him, 'cause eatin' makes him firsty. You 'member that, now."
'And really, Eugene, considering you're past seven, you should try to speak better, added Jacinth. 'I hope you don't say "nungry and firsty" at school. How they must laugh at you!

Cornelius James, clasping the First Lieutenant's sword, however, remained wide-eyed. "I'm so firsty," he complained plaintively. "That's called Nemesis, my son," said Torps, and gave him to drink out of the water-bottle.
"He looks very firsty," said Ruth. "Mebby he's hungry, too," and Pete found the segment of a mechanically correct haystack. "No!" cried Ruth positively, taking the bit of haystack from Pete; "wet's put some hay in his house." "Then that there cow'll git it and she's plumb fed up already."
