Billy Woodchuck assured him that he had no use at all for angleworms. "What I want," he explained, "is a good digger to help dig a new house for me." "Is anybody else going to help too?" Grandfather Mole inquired carefully. "No only myself!" Billy said. "Then I'm sorry; but I can't work for you," Grandfather Mole announced.
"While I'm at it," he said and began taking out carvings and putting them on the table more horses, deer, squirrels, birds of all kinds, a woodchuck. Charlie held up a fox and looked at it from different angles. Its tail was full, straight out behind him, level with his back. His ears were sharply pointed, his head tilted slightly, all senses alert.
How could a rat and a woodchuck be related? Everyone calls him Uncle Whiskers because we all love him. He is so kind and good to us all. You see I have known him all my life and 'Uncle' is my pet name for him. You ask any of the animals about here and they will tell you the same thing." "That is very nice," said Pinkie Whiskers.
If he ever gets me cornered, he'll find that I can fight. A small Dog surprised me once before I could get to my hole and I guess that Dog never will tackle another Woodchuck." "Time is up," interrupted Old Mother Nature. "Johnny Chuck has a big cousin out in the mountains of the Great West named Whistler, and on the prairies of the Great West he has a smaller cousin named Yap Yap.
"I haven't any time to waste over that musical woodchuck!" she shouted, and bounced out of the tent. "What have you discovered, dear?" cried Dorothy, running after her.

But about then you wake up with a violent start and decide that any sympathy you may have in stock should be reserved for personal use exclusively, because at this moment the dog trees the woodchuck at the base of that cherished tooth of yours and starts to dig him out. He is a very determined dog and very active, but he needs a manicure. You are struck by that fact almost immediately.
"Our names are Twinkle Gray, Winkle Gray and Pinkie Whiskers Gray," replied Pinkie Whiskers. "We live in the cheese factory." "Why, that is strange, that is strange," said Sammy Woodchuck. "You must be relatives of Uncle Whiskers. I have heard him speak of you. Welcome to the country."
It is the same state-house from the gallery of which poor William Wetherell witnessed the drama of the Woodchuck Session, although there are more members now, for the population of the State has increased to five hundred thousand.
From a photograph by Dr. It has been my good fortune to spend many delightful summers with Mr. Burroughs at his old home, and also at Woodchuck Lodge. On my first visit he led me to a hilltop and pointed off toward a deep gorge where the Pepacton, although it is a placid stream near Roxbury, rises amid scenery wild and rugged.
"We expected to see a poke bonnet," they both told Mr. Crow. That made him laugh again hoarsely. "She wants to see you. The Muley Cow wants to talk with you," Aunt Polly Woodchuck informed him. "Is she feeling pleasant?" he asked. "No, I shouldn't say she was," Aunt Polly replied. "Then I'll fly over and call on her a little later," he decided. "But first I must finish my breakfast."
