- 6. "Wild Animals"There is a wild animal near my house a badger.He has a very big burrow.He roots up the fields for pig nuts.He does no damage but he would bite and keep a hold of a leg until it cracks.People say that he sucks cows if he finds them lying.
"Ferrets".
People say that if you drank the milk that a ferret left after him it would cure the whooping cough.An all-black cat would cure the fever.People say that the wild carrot cures boils.
