THE SORE PAW
Sure enough! Just as Mr. Coyote had promised, he was on hand the next night to "help" Benny Badger catch Ground Squirrels.
Benny regarded Mr. Coyote somewhat coldly, as the two met in the moonlight.
"How's your sore paw?" he asked Mr. Coyote.
Now, Mr. Coyote had just come trotting up without the least sign of lameness. But all at once he began to limp.
"My poor paw's no better," he told Benny, as a look of pain crossed his face.
