More From David Eddings

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him
Dog Horse Cat
The cat will keep his side of the bargain. he will kill mice, and he will be kind to babies when he is in the house, just so long as they do not pull his tail too hard. but when he has done that, and between times, and when the moon gets up and night comes, he is the cat that walks by himself, and all places are alike to him. then he goes out to the wet wild woods or up on the wet wild trees or on the wet wild roofs, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone.

Being wild can be wearing a silly hat. being wild can be dancing weird. being wild can be shooting people. what do i think being wild is? nothing. actually, the whole world is wild. everything is wild.
Silly Thinking People
Today's uncle tom doesn't wear a handkerchief on his head. this modern, twentieth-century uncle thomas now often wears a top hat. he's usually well-dressed and well-educated. he's often the personification of culture and refinement. the twentieth-century uncle thomas sometimes speaks with a yale or harvard accent. sometimes he is known as professor, doctor, judge, and reverend, even right reverend doctor. this twentieth-century uncle thomas is a professional negro -by that i mean his profession is being a negro for the white man.
