But when he had reached a certain spot, almost in front of the Big Oak, he stopped, because he thought he heard people amongst the bushes. In fact, two persons came out on to the road. Can you guess who they were? His two traveling companions, the Fox and the Cat, with whom he had supped at the inn of The Red Craw-Fish. "Why, here is our dear Pinocchio!" cried the Fox, kissing and embracing him.
This afternoon after choir practice Ellen and I went down to the rocks, although it was very cold, to try to catch craw-fish. We had not started fishing when we saw William running towards us. He came to say a ship was in view to the west and that the men were going off. So of course we hurried up again to get our letters ready.
While I was employed by these reflections, the gnawings of hunger were suddenly aroused by the appearance of two Craw-fish under the stern sheets; one of which, I caught and devoured with such greediness, that it was very soon rejected; and although I at first thought I could have eaten a dozen of them, the exhaustion, produced by my efforts to vomit, destroyed all relish for the other.
No sooner had the fisherman taken him out than he opened his big green eyes with astonishment and cried, half frightened: "What species of fish is this? Fish of this kind I never remember to have eaten." And he looked at him again attentively and, having examined him well all over, he ended by saying: "I know: he must be a craw-fish."
"I am waiting for my papa, whom I expect to arrive every moment." "And your gold pieces?" "I have got them in my pocket, all but one that I spent at the inn of The Red Craw-Fish." "And to think that, instead of four pieces, by tomorrow they might become one or two thousand! Why do you not listen to my advice? Why will you not go and bury them in the Field of Miracles?"
"Give us somethin' to eat, Mammy, please," said Jim. "An' some craw-fish bait and a piece of string," put in the other two in a breath. "I ain't a gwine to do it, chillun," replied Mammy Delphy, giving them a gentle push with her elbow, for they were leaning coaxingly against her shoulders, "I ain't a gwine to do it.

A few days after our return from the diggings, we breakfasted off a dish of stewed eels, caught by a friend; the smallest weighed about a pound and a half, the largest about three pounds. They were caught three miles from Melbourne, in the Salt Water Creek. Pike are also very numerous. Crabs and lobsters are not known here, but in the salt creeks near the sea we have craw-fish.
You got me into this blamed mess, and now you want to craw-fish. You jest tech one of these 'ere fastenings, and I'll lay you out flat of your back afore you can say Jack Robinson." The teacher was climbing to the roof with the board in hand. "That air won't win," laughed Pete Jones outside. He saw that there was no smoke. Even Bud began to hope that Ralph would fail for once.
Many a good craw-fish have I pulled out from this bank when the water comes down the gully, but never one exactly like this here afore. "'Name of the Lord! cried the constable, jumping behind the hawthorn stump; 'don't point it at me, you looby! It's loaded, loaded one barrel, don't you see? Put it down, with the muzzle away from me. "'Hand it to me, Jacob, the Captain said.
