From time to time Moses stroked the quivering head and murmured low phrases of comfort.,"She evidently took your advice," says Nicholas.，"That ain't my fault!" bawled the man at the receding figure.，Once, a long time ago, the antelope and the deer happened to meet on the prairie. They spoke together, giving each other the news, each telling what he had seen and done. After they had talked for a time the antelope told the deer how fast he could run, and the deer said that he could run fast too, and before long each began to say that he could run faster than the other. So they agreed that they would have a race to decide which could run the faster, and on this race they bet their galls.
