Excerpt from Sandman Twilight StoriesMr. Fox smiled to himself as he went along to Mr. Squirrel's house, for he really thought that Mr. Bear was a very clumsy fellow.

The wood was snapping and crackling, making the sparks fly. Some flew up the chimney, others settled into coals in the bed of the fireplace, while others flew out on the hearth and slowly closed their eyes and went to sleep.One spark ventured farther out upon the hearth and fell very near Pussy. This made her jump, which awakened the dog."That almost scorched your fur coat, Miss Pussy," said the dog."No, indeed," answered the cat. "I am far too quick to be caught by those silly sparks.""Why do you call them silly?" asked the dog. "I think them very good to look at, and they help to keep us warm.""Yes, that is all true," said the cat, "but those that fly up the chimney on a night like this certainly are silly, when they could be warm and comfortable inside; for my part, I cannot see why they fly up the chimney."CONTENTSWhere the Sparks GoThe Good Sea MonsterMother Turkey and Her ChicksThe Fairies and the DandelionMr. 'PossumThe Rooster That Crowed Too SoonTearfulHilda's MermaidThe Mirror's DreamThe ContestThe Pink and Blue EggsWhy the Morning-Glory SleepsDorothy and the PortraitMistress Pussy's MistakeKidThe Shoemaker RatThe PoppiesLittle China DollThe Disorderly GirlThe Wise Old GanderDinah Cat and the WitchThe Star and the LilyLazy GrayThe Old Gray HenThe Worsted Doll

Sandman's Goodnight Stories THE EATYOUP Dicky Duck was a very wise young fellow. He swam about the pond alone long before his brothers left their mother, and such worms and bugs and things of that sort as he found made all the other young ducks quite green with envy. But one day Dicky Duck almost lost his life by thinking he was so wise, for he was swimming around the pond when he came to the woods where Mr. Fox was hiding back of some bushes. Dicky did not go near enough for Mr. Fox to catch him, but Mr. Fox could see that he was a nice plump duck and it made his eyes shine with longing to look at him. "Ah me," he sighed as Dicky swam by, "if only I knew some wise creature to ask! I am far too dull to know anything myself." When Dicky heard the word "wise" he felt sure that meant him, for was not he the wisest duck of his size and age? So he stopped swimming and looked around. Mr. Fox had hidden himself well under the bushes now. Not even the tip of his nose could be seen and he made his voice sound very weak, as if he were a very small animal.
