Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


"An' bray ut could! Ut was the only thung ut could do besides eat
an' grow. Whenever ut was hungry ut brayed, an' there was no
stoppun' ut save wuth food. An' always of a marnun', when first ut
crawled tull the kutchen-door an' blunked out ot the sun, ut
brayed. An' ut was brayun' that brought about uts end.


"I mind me well. Ut was three years old an' oz bug oz a led o'
ten. Old Tom hed been goun' from bed tull worse, ploughun' up an'
down the fields an' talkun' an' mutterun' tull humself. On the
marnun' o' the day I mind me, he was suttun' on the bench outside
the kutchen, a-futtun' the handle tull a puck-axe. Unbeknown, the
monster eediot crawled tull the door an' brayed after hus fashion
ot the sun. I see old Tom start up an' look. An' there was the
monster eediot, waggun' uts bug head an' blunkun' an' brayun' like
the great bug ass ut was. Ut was too much for Tom. Somethun' went
wrong wuth hum suddent-like. He jumped tull hus feet an' fetched
the puck-handle down on the monster eediot's head. An' he hut ut
again an' again like ut was a mod dog an' hum afeard o' ut. An' he
went straight tull the stable an' hung humsel' tull a rafter. An'
I was no for stoppun' on after such-like, an' I went tull stay
along wuth me suster thot was married tull John Martin an'
comfortable-off."
