“Why don't you stay upNorth, where you belong? You have not right to be down here. stealing the food of honest folks who belong here." snarled Reddy.

“That Mouse didn't belong to you; it was mine,“ hissed Roughleg. “I didn't rob you; you robbed me. I tell you that Mouse was mine. And I have just as much right to hunt here as you have."

"Listen! I live here. but you don't. You juEt visit here.

“That Mouse didn't belong to you; it was mine." hissed Roughleg

Rzddy in a most unpleasant man- ner.

"Rood is for those who find it, when they find it. where they find it. You know that as well as I do. When you can't find enough to eat in one place, you look for it some- where else. That is what I am doing, and what I have a right to do. This is a hard winter up North. We who hunt for a living e'~n't get. enough to eat to keep us alive. We don't come do\vn here because we want to. \Ve come be- cause we must. And we have just as much right to hunt here as you have," declared Rougllleg. Then he added, “That Mouse was mine."

“It \vas mine, and you know it!" snapped Reddy.

“If you‘ find the hunting around here so poor because I am here. why don't you do the same thing I did, move on where the hunting is better?" asked Roughleg.

“Perhaps I would it I had wings." replied Roddy. He grinned. He couldn't help it. It Iiad popped mto his head how funny he would look with wings.

“You have legs." said Roughleg

“So have you." retorted Ready. "l-Iow far do you think you would gel‘. if you had to depend on those? Old Mother Nature didn't intend for Foxes and others without wings to travel long distances. She meant us to stay on our hunting grounds. So they belong to those vllio can't leave them, and no one else." "Says you, but not Mother Na- ture," scoffed the big Hawk. “She gave birds wings.
