our claws hey wilbur look what i found an old rotten tree i bet there's around here now if i could look just get up here i'll be able to dig out these insects wilbur's found himself an old bird's nest to clean out of course this isn't where we usually hunt for food our favorite hunting ground is the brook which runs near our home when we were very little our mother taught us how to catch frogs and crayfish and now we're very good at it see we don't need fishing rods to catch our fish we just go after them with our paws this kind of hunting keeps our paws nice and clean ah there's my favorite food a frog now if i'm real careful hey stand still a minute how am i going to catch you if you keep hopping away said wilbur give me a hand will you i'm coming randy wilder look what's coming along
