It would keep me in a state of constant excitement and nervousness. “So I not only think it is an “00-00-00!” “00-00” says the Owl to his Mate in the treet; “00-00,” says his Mate, “I’m beginning to see, “For the sun’s going down on its course in the West, “And Earth’s busy people will soon go to rest.”” “00-00,” says the Owl,“ some food I must find, For when the sun comes again, then I’ll be blind.” Oh, Mr. Gobbler!

My home was in South America. I am the largest rat in existence. There’s nothing small or petty about me. I’m a generous rat, generous in size and generous in praise to myself. “But I get praise from others too—for when I’m sold as a fur I’m given a stylish shop name of South American Beaver or Nutria. “T am the Coypu Rat, “And I’m rather inclined to be fat!” What Do You Mean, Stingy?
