Some years ago I was camping
on the bank of Crow Canyon
River in Arizona, and, getting
short of food, l decided to go
fishing. I had a pole, line, and
hook, but no bait.
Looking along the bank for
bait I saw a snake coming out of
the water with frog. I took the
frog from the snake, and having
been taught by my parents in
my early youth mot to take
without giving" I gave the snake
drink of whisky. when I go
fishing in Arizona I always carry
whisky as a precaution for rat

After standing on the bank for
an hour or more intently watch

something tapping my leg. Look
