Snappy was a small Irish terrier who was fond of scrambled eggs. As his
owners were obliged to buy their eggs at a good price, he did not get
one as often as he would have liked. So he would go to the back of the
lot and lie there until he heard a neighbor’s hen cackle. Immediately
he would crawl through a hole in the fence, and presently return with
an egg in his mouth. He would carry the egg to the kitchen, lay it
very carefully on the floor, and wait patiently by it until some one
had time to cook it for him. No objections were made, as the neighbor
thought this was so clever of him.
