Whitefoot The Wood Mouse in "Whitefoot Envies Timmy"
A useless thing is envy;
A foolish thing to boot.
Why should a Fox who has a bark
Want like an Owl to hoot?
Whitefoot was beginning to feel quite at home. He would have been wholly contented but for one thing, he had no well-filled storehouse.
This meant that each day he must hunt for his food.
It wasn't that Whitefoot minded hunting for food.
