"I will give you such an umbrella for your mother." "I don't take presents from strangers." "Bless you, I'm no stranger here! Oh, no! not at all." And he set off in the manner usual with him, rolling every way at once. Richard could not help laughing and following. At length Toadstool plumped into a great hole full of water. "Served him right!" thought Richard.
The mesa seemed to be suffused by a purple glow, while, farther off, the foothills, from which it was separated by a level expanse, were in a golden haze. The mesa stood up boldly, almost like some giant toadstool, save that the stem was thicker. There was an overhang to the top, or table part, though, that carried out the resemblance.
One day I went to market the kind of a market to which my mother would have gone and I saw women whose husbands labored hard, scorning to buy any but porterhouse steaks merely because porterhouse steak stood for prosperity. In Washington I met a new kind of American, a type that has sprung up suddenly like an evil toadstool. It is a fungous disease that spreads.
Meadow Mouse smiled a bit, all to himself. He knew that Grandfather Mole was odd. And being a good-natured person and wishing to please Grandfather Mole, Mr. Meadow Mouse joined him.

It is also called "Yungla tchamo" by the Tibetans, the latter word signifying a toadstool. Mr. Nor must I forget to include amongst the eatable plants of this hungry country, young shoots of the mountain-bamboo, which are good either raw or boiled, and may be obtained up to 12,000 feet in this valley.
