Cobwebs from an Empty Skull

A rabbit travelling leisurely along the highway was seen, at some distance, by a duck, who had just come out of the water.

“Well, I declare!” said she, “if I could not walk without limping in that ridiculous way, I’d stay at home.  Why, he’s a spectacle!”

“Did you ever see such an ungainly beast as that duck!” said the rabbit to himself.  “If I waddled like that I should go out only at night.”
