A mouse and a weasel once dwelt in the house of a poor peasant, one of whose friends fell sick and the doctor prescribed him husked sesame. So he sought of one of his comrades sesame and gave the peasant a measure thereof to husk for him; and he carried it home to his wife and bade her dress it. So she steeped it and husked it and spread it out to dry.
I found the four women had husked corn on shares until two were sick with pneumonia; and the corn, boiled without salt, was all they had to eat during the five weeks they had been there. Now they were nearly out, and what to do they knew not, as they were forbidden to go into the field to husk more. I made out an order for rations, and measured their bare feet for shoes and stockings.
His teeth seemed perpetually to ache with desire, and in lieu of black legs he husked the cocoanuts that fell from the trees in the compound, kept the enclosure clear of intruding hens, and made a hostile acquaintance with every boss-boy who came to report.
"Minnie Chickering wasn't the only girl that Tom Endover kissed, if I remember right," she said, with covert intention. "Well, he put the red ear into my hands himself, and I just husked it without thinking anything about it," retorted Lucy Eastman, with spirit. "Of course you did, of course you did," asseverated Mary Leonard, whereupon the other laughed too, but with reservation.
No. She'll want Truxton all to herself, Mandy." "Well, I hopes she has him," Mandy husked an ear of corn viciously. "I ain' got my boy. He hol's his haid so high, he ain' got no time fo' his ol' Mammy." "You know you are proud of him, Mandy." "I ain' sayin' I is, and I ain' sayin' I isn't. But dat Daisy down the road, she ac' like she own him." "Oh, Daisy? Is he in love with her?"
Thenceforward the aforesaid fox abode alone in the vineyard unto the hour of his death secure and fearing no hurt. And such are the adventures of the wolf and the fox. But men also tell a A mouse and an ichneumon once dwelt in the house of a peasant who was very poor; and when one of his friends sickened, the doctor prescribed him husked sesame.
"I don't quite understand what you mean." "You don't?" replied Johnny. "It begins this way" and the watchful Loring suddenly hung on Johnny's arm with his full weight. "Don't!" implored Loring. "I'm going to smash his head in!" husked Johnny, quivering with an anger to which he had not given way for years. "Wait a minute!" pleaded Loring, pulling on him with all his strength. "Wait, I say!

The place where the wood-pile lay was slightly higher than the barnyard and was the first dry ground to appear in the almost universal slush and mud. Delightful memories are associated with this sunny spot and with a pond which appeared as if by some conjury, on the very field where I had husked the down-row so painfully in November.
Then there was a race among the huskers for the fence, the girls promising that he whose row was first husked out, should sit at the head of the table, and be called King of the Corn-field.
