"Ah say, ah haven't treated m'self t'fresh berries in a while! Mmm, too bad ah'm no baker - why, if me ol' mum was here, she'd be a-bakin' us the most mouth-waterin' berry 'n honey tart you'll ever taste!" Jebbo finishes the berries held in his hand, and gives a wide grin, exposing his now slightly pink teeth. "M'thanks t'you, Jared. An' t'you, too, Hakkara. Berries 'n rabbit... we're off to a good start!"Jebbo leans towards the fire, enjoying its warmth and light in the twilight. "Hmm, as f'the matter o' watches, ah guess ah'll take whicheva watch is left, after the rest o' you decide!" Jebbo takes a deep whiff of the air, taking in the scent of the rabbit. "It's the least ah can do f'the lovely dinner 'n company!"He leans back from the fire, and looks up at the stars. "Y'know, speakin' o' watchin', ah remember when me 'n m'pappy went campin' in some woods, just like these, one spring night 'bout thirty-one years ago..." A faraway look enters Jebbo's eyes as he begins his recount of the tale. "We'd both settled down f'the night, just after eatin' a big heapin' helpin' of fish stew, 'n right good it was, too! 'Course, ah always fall right asleep after a good supper, inherited that from m'pappy, so we were both out cold. 'Bout halfways through the night, m'pappy shook me awake. 'Wake up, m'boy, there's somethin' a rustlin' in the bushes over there!' he said t'me. Well, that sure got me on m'feet quick!" He chuckles briefly, then continues. "We both got mighty worried 'bout what it might be, since it sounded mighty big. So, we got the bright idear that we might get the element o' surprise on the beastie, 'n we both climbed into a tree carryin' our fishin' net. He says t'me, 'Jebbo, m'boy, when we try t'trap this beastie, if it don't work, ah want y'ta run fast as y'little legs can carry ya!' Ah was so scared 'n tremblin' so bad, the branch was shakin'! Musta shook somethin' loose, since before you could say Timber, the branch snapped 'n we both went tumblin' outta the tree like drunks outta doors! We scrambled to our feet, 'n just sat back down again t'laugh." Jebbo resumes his chuckling, face turning slightly red from a mixture of mirth and embarrassment. "Would you believe it, but it was nothin' but a family o' lil' ol' raccoons! They were just as surprised as we were, though I'm no judge o' raccoon-speak. On top o' that, while we were sittin' down a laughin', one o' their buddies snatched what was left o' our fish! Mighty fine trap THAT turned out to be! Least they ate well that night!" He smiles and shakes his head. "The moral o' this story bein', o' course, t'always watch out for 'n never trust raccoons. Ah've remembered that there lesson f'over thirty years, 'n you'd all do well t'do the same!"</blockquote>
