Poradnik dot. obozowania zimą z początków XX wieku (USA). Rozdział dotyczy zwierząt, które można napotkać w lesie zimą. Szczerze mówiąc nie rozumiem całego ostatniego zdania.

When one first comes upon a hedgehog working, he is certain to think that he has found something. Mr. Hedgehog is a very portly gentleman. His legs are very short, and he has that well developed middle which is guardedly termed a "corporation." In snow he is at a disadvantage. Nevertheless he plows resolutely through it, leaving behind a broad, deep furrow, in the bottom of which are his footprints, almost like the diminutive impression of a person's hands. His paths run in all directions from his den, which is made under a ledge of rocks or in the base of a hollow tree. Wherever one strikes them, he will not have to follow far to headquarters, and turning the other way, he may often easily trace the Alderman himself to some tree which he is eating clean of bark.
