A trapper gets his comeuppance in this Southern tall tale!

Otis Steele was a hungry old trapper near Uncertain, Texas. One night he cut the tail off a strange creature as it ran away from him, and he fried it up and ate it with gusto. Otis filled his belly and went to bed, but as he lay alone in his cabin, he heard the wind begin to howl. Young readers will chill to the thrills of this rhyming story when the creature returns, looking for his “taileebone.”
