That sounds like a cheap fling at the poor creature, a slur; but I do not mean it so. I have never heard the human voice before, and any new and strange sound intruding itself here upon the solemn hush of these dreaming solitudes offends my ear and seems a false note. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CHEAP FLING AT THE POOR CREATURE A SLUR BUT I DO NOT MEAN IT SO I HAVE NEVER HEARD THE HUMAN VOICE BEFORE AND ANY NEW AND STRANGE SOUND INTRUDING ITSELF HERE UPON THE SOLEMN HUSH OF THESE DREAMING SOLITUDES OFFENDS MY EAR AND SEEMS A FALSE NOTE
 estate, I think. The new creature calls it Niagara Falls—why, I am sure I do not know. Says it looks like Niagara Falls. That is not a reason; it is mere waywardness and imbecility. I get no chance to name anything myself. The new creature names everything that comes along, before I can get in a protest. And always that same pretext is offered—it looks like the thing. There is the dodo, for instance. Says the moment one looks at it one sees at a glance that it “looks like a dodo.” It will have to keep that name, no doubt. It wearies me to fret about it, and it does no good, anyway. Dodo! It looks no more like a dodo than I do. Wednesday Built me a shelter against the rain, but could not have it to myself in peace. The new creature intruded. When I tried to put it out it shed water out of the holes it looks with, and wiped it away with the back of its paws, and made a noise such as some of the other animals make when they are in distress. I wish it would not talk; it is always talking. L IT IS THE FINEST THING ON THE ESTATE I THINK THE NEW CREATURE CALLS IT NIAGARA FALLS WHY I AM SURE I DO NOT KNOW SAYS IT LOOKS LIKE NIAGARA FALLS THAT IS NOT A REASON IT IS MERE WAYWARDNESS AND IMBECILITY I GET NO CHANCE TO NAME ANYTHING MYSELF THE NEW CREATURE NAMES EVERYTHING THAT COMES ALONG BEFORE I CAN GET IN A PROTEST AND ALWAYS THAT SAME PRETEXT IS OFFERED IT LOOKS LIKE THE THING THERE IS THE DODO FOR INSTANCE SAYS THE MOMENT ONE LOOKS AT IT ONE SEES AT A GLANCE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A DODO IT WILL HAVE TO KEEP THAT NAME NO DOUBT IT WEARIES ME TO FRET ABOUT IT AND IT DOES NO GOOD ANYWAY DODO IT LOOKS NO MORE LIKE A DODO THAN I DO WEDNESDAY BUILT ME A SHELTER AGAINST THE RAIN BUT COULD NOT HAVE IT TO MYSELF IN PEACE THE NEW CREATURE INTRUDED WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT OUT IT SHED WATER OUT OF THE HOLES IT LOOKS WITH AND WIPED IT AWAY WITH THE BACK OF ITS PAWS AND MADE A NOISE SUCH AS SOME OF THE OTHER ANIMALS MAKE WHEN THEY ARE IN DISTRESS I WISH IT WOULD NOT TALK IT IS ALWAYS TALKING
