Billy Whiskers Out for Fun
“MY dear Nannie, what do you say to our seeking the sunny South for the winter? I am getting too old to enjoy huddling up to the lee side of a strawstack to keep warm or sleeping in a drafty barn. Here it is the first of September and by traveling slowly and taking our time, we could reach southern California by the first of November.”
“California! Did I hear you say California?”
“Yes. Why not?”
“I thought you meant Florida or Mississippi or some of those states when you said South , for I always think of California as West and cold, not warm.”
“Oh, no! I don’t like Florida and those Gulf of Mexico States as well as the warm climate of California. They have too many crocodiles and snakes to suit me.”
