To them he was ter rible, for they'knew ho would enjoy nothing more than dining on a couple of fat Meadow Mice. They didn’t breathe. They were too frightened to breathe. They squatted close to the ground, as motionless as two little stones They were so frightened they couldn't have moved to save their lives. Never had they dreamed that there cotild be such a big Snake. But Mr. Gopher Snake didn’t see them, lie had seen Salamander, and now he glided straight for that little sand pile of Salamander's. Uanny and Nanny wondered if he would go in after Salamander. But he didn't. No sir, he didn't. For a moment or two he acted as if in a tad temper. AIIVFKTIgK VIEsr.
