Fifty men might sit down and write what the grey of a badger's like; and they can't, because there's no words for it. All they can say is that 'tis badger's-grey which means nought to a man that hasn't seen one; and a man that has don't want to be told. Same with your pencils and paints. Cast your head back and look up how deep can you see into the sky?" "Miles."
The waves came plashing against the two boats; but the hare's boat was built of wood, while that of the badger was made of clay, and, as they rowed down the river, the clay boat began to crumble away; then the hare, seizing his paddle, and brandishing it in the air, struck savagely at the badger's boat, until he had smashed it to pieces, and killed his enemy.
Comin' to the hole, Coyote sees the badger kind o' quiled up at the first bend in the burrow, an' he exultin'ly allows he's plugged him an' tharupon reaches in to retrieve his game. That's where Coyote makes the mistake of his c'reer; that's where he drops his watermelon! "That badger's alive an' onhurt an' as hot as a lady who's lost money.
Wild life in our quiet valley will be deemed of unusual interest when I say that less than six hours before writing these lines I visited a badger's "set" a deep underground hollow with several main passages and upper galleries, where, as I have good reason to believe, a fox also dwells an otter's "holt" beneath gnarled alder-roots fringing the river-bank, and another fox's "earth," all on the outskirts of a wooded belt not more than a mile from my home, and all showing signs of having long been inhabited.
By this time tee-hees from the children and chuckles from some of the older members interfered with Mr. Badger's fervent but jerky discourse. Captain Eben struck the table smartly. "Silence!" he thundered. "Silence! Brother Badger, I beg your pardon for 'em. Go on!" But Josiah's train of thought had evidently been derailed by the interruption.
A couple of high-backed settles, facing each other on either side of the fire, gave further sitting accommodations for the sociably disposed. In the middle of the room stood a long table of plain boards placed on trestles, with benches down each side. At one end of it, where an arm-chair stood pushed back, were spread the remains of the Badger's plain but ample supper.
Pretty Pierre bent over and said slowly: "If you stay here, Grah, the Indian get your scalp; if you go, the snow is deep and the frost is like a badger's tooth, and you can't be carried." "Oh, Oh! my mother dead poor Annie by God, Grah want pipe poor Grah sleep in snow-bubble, bubble Oh, Oh! the long wind, fly away."
"It's a freight most likely," was Bill Badger's answer. He was right, and soon the long line of freight cars hove into sight around a bend and on an upgrade. Far in the distance they beheld Caven and Malone scooting for the train with all speed. "They are going to make it," sighed Joe. "Too bad!"
Surprised by the strange behavior of the guest who remained standing upon the rug, leaning his round back against the wall, father badger queried: "How, my friend! What?" The bear took one stride forward and shook his paw in the badger's face. He said: "I am strong, very strong!" "Yes, yes, so you are," replied the badger.
So the monkey climbed up and got it off the top shelf of the dresser. There was nothing in it not one single penny! "I felt sure there was twopence left," said the Doctor. "There WAS," said the owl. "But you spent it on a rattle for that badger's baby when he was teething." "Did I?" said the Doctor "dear me, dear me! What a nuisance money is, to be sure! Well, never mind.
