Drie rovers kwamen van heel ver, gewapend met een lucifer.<br>

for this wonderful story. Maybe when "we" have milked the Wren for
all that it is worth, we can switch to that tale of animal stealth. What struck
me about this story was how similar it was, both in "internal organization",
"rhythm" and "twang" to the Cajun stories of
Boudreaux and Thibodeaux of which you can find quite a few on the internet. I
am sending you herewith one of my favorites. And don't worry: what could
be more 'lowland' than a story about the Bayou. Jacqueline</span></font></p>

<br>
Boudreaux been fishin down by de bayou all de day and he done run outa night
crawlers. He be bout redeye to leave when he seed a snake wit a toad frog in
hits mouth. He knowed that dem big bass fish likes toad frogs so he dun decided
to steal that froggie. That snake, hit be a cottn mouthed water moccasin so'd
he have to be real carefull like or he'd git bit.<br>
He snuk up behind de snake and grabbed him roun de haid. That ole snake di'nt
lik hit one bit. He commemced to squirm'n an wrapped itself around Boudreaux's
arm try'n to get free, but Boudreaux, him had a real good grip on his haid,
yea.<br>
Well Boudreaux pried hit's mouth open and got de frog and put's it in his bait
can. Now Boudreaux knows that he cain't let go of de snake or hit's goin' ta
bite him good, but he had a plan.<br>
He reached into de back pocket of'n his bib over-hauls and pulls out a pint o'
moonshine likker. He pours a couple of draps inta de snakes mouth.<br>
Well that snake's eyeballs roll back in hits head and hits body goes limp.<br>
Wit dat Boudreau toss's duh snake inta da crick then he goes back tuh fish'n.<br>
A while later Boudreaux dun feel sumptin tapp'n on his barefoot toe. Well, he
slowly look down and dare be dat water mocassin, and he gat two toad frogs in
his mouth."<br><br></span></font></p>
