Fatty Coon in "Fatty Discovers Mrs. Turtle's Secret"

THAT was why she looked all around to make sure that no one saw her. THAT was why she seemed so pleased. For Mrs. Turtle fully expected that after a time twenty-seven little turtles would hatch from those eggs— just as chickens do—and dig their way out of the sand. But it never happened that way at all. For as soon as he got over his surprise at seeing them, Fatty Coon began at once to eat those twenty- seven eggs. They were delicious. And as he finished the last one he couldn't help thinking how lucky he had been.
