One day Mary went to visit Louise.

The little city girl had never been
in the country before.

She liked to see the lambs play.

One evening the girls went to walk.

They were walking near the sheep pen.

"Look at that strange dog!" said Mary.

"See what a sharp nose he has!

His ears are pointed, too.

See how bushy his tail is!"

Louise looked at the strange dog
and laughed.

"That is not a dog," she said.

"That is a coyote. I'll call Turk to
drive him away."

Turk ran after the coyote and barked.

The coyote ran off very fast.

In the night Mary heard a strange
cry.

"What is that?" she asked Louise.

"It is the coyote," said Louise.

"He is crying for his supper."
