"Surely that goat couldn't have given me the pain in my paw," said Nero, between his howls. "I wonder what the goat means by staying in one place so long, especially when it must know we lions are out on a night-hunt. And what gave me the pain in my foot, and what made the loud noise?" As Nero roared, so the other hunting lions roared.
"Besides the squirrels, Harry's collection embraced a hare and a couple of raccoons. These last were the produce of a night-hunt or two which Cudjo had made with the dogs; and although these fox-like animals were by no means useful pets, yet they gave a variety to our collection, and added to our amusement in the observation of their curious habits."

They will flutter off before the hunter can get his long pole within reach, whereas with a very brilliant light, he may approach almost near enough to lay his hands upon them.

During the night strange noises were heard by several who chanced to be awake.
"Where is Mappo now?" asked a small baboon, which is another kind of monkey. "Oh," replied the gray-haired chap, "Mappo went to a far country on a trip, and had many wonderful adventures. He joined a circus, and was put in a book." "The lions are on a night-hunt," said a middle-sized monkey, who climbed down a tree to take a look.
Dick had often killed deer in this way, and therefore knew all about it. It was agreed, then, that upon the following night we should try the experiment. "During the next day, Dick and I proceeded in our preparations without saying anything to any one. It was our design to keep our night-hunt a secret, lest we might be unsuccessful, and get laughed at for our pains.
