He answered, "We must first go to work and build a large wigwam. It must be very strong, with a heavy, solid door." This was done; and Lox, being a great magician, thus arranged his plans for taking the wild-fowl. He sent the boy out to a point of land, where he was to cry to the birds and tell them that his brother wished to give them a kingly reception.
How Lox came to Grief by trying to catch a Salmon How Master Lox, as a Raccoon, killed the Bear and the Black Cats, and performed other Notable Feats of Skill, all to his Great Discredit How Lox deceived the Ducks, cheated the Chief, and beguiled the Bear The Mischief-Maker.

He built a strong wigwam, three feet high, of stones, and having put the Bear into it he cast in red-hot stones, and poured water on them through a small hole in the roof. Erelong the Bear was in a terrible steam. "Ah, Doctor Lox," he cried, "this is awfully hot! I fear I am dying!" "Courage," said Lox; "this is nothing. The Gull had it twice as hot."

"The sky is tumbling down, Cock Lock!" cried Hen Ren. "Who told you, Hen Ren?" "Oh, Chicker Ricker!" "Who told you, Chicker Ricker?" "Oh, Fox Lox!" "Who told you, Fox Lox?" "Oh, I heard it and I felt it and it came thump upon my crown!
The pivot of the little solar system was changed; but the chief planets made but slight account of that; they just felt that it had grown very warm and bright. "O Chicken Little!" Mrs. Linceford cried to Leslie Goldthwaite, giving her a small shake with her good-night kiss at her door. "How did you know the sky was going to fall?
