When you don't want to walk with it, it comes into play for the children to ride horsey on; or you kin take it off and stir the fire with it in a way that would depress the spirits of a man with a real leg.

It makes the most efficient potato-masher you ever saw.

Work it from the second joint and let the knee swing loose; you kin tack carpets perfectly splendid with the heel; and when a cat sees it coming at him from the winder, he just adjourns _sine die_ and goes down off the fence screaming.

Now, you're probably afeard of dogs.

When you see one approaching, you always change your base.
