The cat watches a mouse-hole for an hour or two just to keep himself from dying of ennui (boredom).

Instead of giving the cat something to eat, the guest often stoops down and strokes the cat, saying "Poor pussy!"

When the family moves to a new house, the cat stays at the old house and attaches himself to the new tenants.

The cat rubs himself against the legs of the family members and purrs noisily to attract their attention and get his share of food during teatime.

The cat soon tires of the guest's empty caresses and quietly sticks his claw into the guest's leg to make him understand that he wants food, not just affection.

When the family goes to bed, the cat goes out into the backyard and roof-tops like a grim fighter to meet his mates, have adventures, and fight his enemies.

In winter, when the harbour was frozen over, the family moved over to the mainland.

Claude and the narrator patched the torn kite with an old letter lying in the bookcase.

Aunt Esther turned pale when she saw the kite because it was patched with the very letter she had once written to her brother.

The mainland children thought Claude and the narrator must be lonesome because there were no other children on the Big Half Moon island for them to play with.

When the kite snapped its cord and sailed over to the mainland, Dick and Mimi found it. Their mother, Aunt Esther, recognized the old letter pasted on it and wrote to the narrator's father, leading to their happy reunion.

The squirrel thinks it is no disgrace to occupy his small place because every creature in this world has its own distinct role and importance in making the universe complete.

The mountain can carry large forests on its back and make a very pretty squirrel track, but it cannot crack a nut like the squirrel.

The snail hides securely within his house (shell) whenever imminent danger approaches, such as bad weather, storms, or any physical touch to his horns.

The snail leads a self-sufficient and solitary life without needing any companions or external possessions, so he is completely satisfied with himself as his own treasure.

The poet cannot deny the call of the running tide because it is a wild and clear call that stirs a deep, irresistible passion for sea voyage in his heart.

The poet prefers a windy day with white clouds flying in the sky, a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

The oak-trees complained that although they were the poet's own true family, humans chopped them down and tore them up while the poet didn't even blink an eye.

If the poet failed to keep his promise of planting two oak trees whenever one is felled, the black oak bark would wrinkle over him and root him among the oaks.
