"Say, Snap, what makes you think this is going to be a real quiet
picnic?" asked Whopper on the way. "Now, I expect to bag about
fifty rabbits, a hundred partridges, some wild turkeys, a bear or
two, and that lion in the bargain!"

"Wow!" gasped Giant. "Whopper is to the front once more. Why not
make it two lions while you are at it?"

"Because there is only one, and I don't want to be---er---piggish."

"Why not say lionish?" questioned Shep.

"Aren't you going to hunt at all?" demanded the boy who loved to
exaggerate.

"Of course," drawled Giant. "I am going to hunt ants, and June bugs,
and horseflies, and worms, and-----"

"Oh, come off!" growled Whopper. "You know what I mean."

"To be sure we'll hunt," said the doctor's son. "But the cameras
are going ahead of the guns this trip."

"Speaking of cameras and worms puts me in mind of something I heard
yesterday," said Snap. "It's about trick photography. An amateur
photographer showed a picture he had of what looked like a fierce
snake on a rail fence. By and by he gave the trick away. The snake
was nothing but a garden worm wound around some little sticks and
toothpicks, and the picture had been snapped at close range."
