Crow all right, isn't it?" "Yes but are there white crows in the city?" "There are white rabbits. Then why not white crows, and white foxes?" "White foxes?" "Yes, why not? Didn't you ever see one?" "No, but I've heard of them, it seems to me, but they live way up north, don't they?" "If you want to see one now," continued Bumper, "look at the sun for ten seconds, and sneeze twice, and then "
They crossed into a bye path, and walked toward the house through a field in which wheat had been growing. Among the short straw, left by the reapers, Samuel saw many birds' nests, and deep holes that had been dug by rabbits, field mice, and other small animals. In a short time they passed a very old house, whose sides appeared as if they would fall every moment.
The following are the names and number of domestic animals now on the island, which is about 30 miles in circumference. 70 head of oxen. 60 sheep. There are likewise the dogs lately imported, and a few rabbits from the Cape of Good Hope, which have been turned loose in the valleys to breed; it is feared, however, that the cats will destroy the young rabbits, if they do not the old ones.

"He said so," replied Mr Rabbits innocently. "And his word is the only evidence you have that he was not elsewhere?" Mr Rabbits was obliged to confess that it was. "Buller! come here," cried the doctor.
We animals, or rather the most of us, kill mercifully. It is only human beings who butcher their prey, and seem, some of them, to rejoice in their agony. I used to be eager to kill birds and rabbits, but I did not want to keep them before me long after they were dead.
Mercifully the last patient has just left. As for animals, the house is full of stray dogs and tame rabbits and squirrels that run up you and look for nuts in your pocket. There is also a mongoose, who pulled the cloth off the tea-table yesterday and ran away with all the cakes. Aunt Marcia bears it philosophically, but the week before I came there was a crisis.
He knew all the birds that sang in the branches could tell what birds migrated and what not was acquainted with the flowers and weeds and fungi knew where the rabbits burrowed could pick the milkweed that would cure warts, and tell the points of the compass by examining the bark of the trees.
