They told everything they knew, and sometimes a great deal more. Their masters often flogged them for tattling, but it did little or no good. "In those days there was a great hunter whose name was Man-e-do. He wanted a dog to help him hunt, but he did not want a tattletale. So he took a fine, young pup, and tried to bring him up to be a good hunter and to keep his tongue. He took good care of him.
At last, "He's a tattletale!" she charged, and felt her cheeks crimson with sudden anger. He nodded so vigorously that some of his tears splashed over the rim of his cap. "That's why the Police can't get along without him," he declared. "And, oh, here I've gone and lost him! And They'll put me off the Force!" "They?" she questioned. "Do you mean the soda-water They?"
"Now you're home with the cheese too late for me to make cheese sauce for the broccoli. I'm at the end of my patience. Where on earth have you been? Why didn't you come straight home from the store?" "He stops off on his way home to see the Bullfinches," said Cathy, getting ice cubes out of the refrigerator to put in the water pitcher. "I've seen him go in." "Tattletale!" snarled Jerry.
It must be that some one has told him. And nobody knows that I have been over there but Sammy Jay. It must be he who has been the tattletale.

But when Old Man Coyote began to call him a tattletale and accuse him of having warned Paddy, and to threaten dreadful things, he straightway forgot all his anger at Paddy and turned it all on Old Man Coyote. He called him everything he could think of, and this was a great deal, for Sammy has a wicked tongue.

"I didn't get any more than any other girl. But I wasn't afraid to keep mine." "Do you know where these verses came from, before Helen had them?" "Yes, Miss Hill." "Then you know who wrote them?" "Yes." "Who?" "I won't tell," replied Rose, deliberately. She looked straight into her teacher's eyes. "You refuse when I've assured you I'll be lenient?" demanded Miss Hill. "I'm no tattletale."
So Old Man coyote laid all the blame at the door of Sammy Jay, and that very morning, when Sammy came flying over the Green Meadows, Old Man Coyote accused him of being a tattletale and threatened the most dreadful things to Sammy if ever he caught him. Now Sammy had flown down to the green Meadows to tell Old Man Coyote how Paddy was doing all his work on land in the daytime.
He turned pale-blue eyes, remote and filled with light, on the waiter, and added: "She'll have another drink, and bring me one of the same."
