Uncle Sammy Coon
One day Frisky Squirrel was looking for something to eat in the woods, when whom should he meet but Uncle Sammy Coon, a good-for-nothing old fellow who lived over in the swamp.
“Well, young man!” said Uncle Sammy, “what are you doing here?”
“I’m trying to find a few seeds to eat,” Frisky explained.
“I know where there’s some corn,” said Uncle Sammy Coon. “It’s last year’s corn, to be sure; but it’s good, just the same.”
