"I knew I heard something," murmured Snap. "But what kind of a visitor did we have?"
"A four-legged one," answered Giant. "He rooted among our stores for something to eat."
"Some animal!" ejaculated Whopper. "It's a wonder he didn't try to chew us all up. Is anything gone?"
"Is anything gone? Well, I rather guess?"
"All the fish for one thing!"
"And the rabbits and turkey!"
"And that crust of bread!"
"And about half of the sugar!"
The young hunters gazed about in consternation. Evidently the visitor had rooted around their stores to his heart's content.
"Do you know what I think it was?" came from Shep.
