  I just found this terrific quote in the book I am reading
called 'red sky at morning'by R. Bradford.

  'Oh, he [a big dog] hunts with papa," she said. "he says
   Don Carlos [the dog] is good for almost every kind of
   game.  He went duck hunting one time and did real well
   at it.  Then Papa bought some ducks, not wild ducks but,
   you know, farm ducks.  And it got Don Carlos all mixed
   up.  Scince the ducks were always around the yard with
   nobody shooting at them he knew he wasn't supposed to
   kill them, but he had to do something.  So one morning
   last spring, whe the ground was still soft, he took all
   the ducks and buried them."
     "What do you mean, buried them?"
     "Oh, he didn't hurt them.  He dug little holes all over
   the yard and picked up the ducks in his mouth and put
   them in the holes.  Then he covered them up with mud
   except for their heads.  He did thirteen ducks that
   way and was digging a hole for another one when Tony
   found him.  We talked about it for a long time.  Papa
   said Don Carlos was afraid the ducks might run away, and
   since he didn't know how to build a cage he put them in
   holes.  He's a smart dog."

This book is really good.  Read it and there will be a pop
quiz in the morning.
