Mr. Turtle's Flying Adventure

Excerpt from Mr. Turtle's Flying Adventure: Hollow Tree Stories
Unless we were more careful. Then she would tell us to look out for Mr. Eagle, too, who was likely any time to come soaring about, and would pick up any food he saw lying handy. Well, it used to scare us when we thought about it. Old Man Moccasin was seven feet long, and I judge about half a foot thick. He could lift himself two feet out Of the water when he was swimming, and with his far sighted glasses on could see a mile. Mr. Eagle was fully twice as big as any Of the Eagle family I know Of nowadays, and didn't need any glasses to see an article the Size Of a bug oating on the Wide Blue Water, no matter how high he was ying. We tried to keep a lookout in several directions, but, Of course, as we got Older without accidents, we grew careless, and our mother used to count us every night and be surprised that we were all there, and give us a good scolding to go to bed on.
