Are you going to sit here all day and do nothing?
gpt
S-sh! Major Monkey said.
human
Do be quiet! Do you want them to hear you?
gpt
I don't care if they hear me, Mr. Crow cried.
human
It's plain to me that these boys will stay here all day if they're not driven away.
gpt
No doubt! Major Monkey agreed, as he plucked a tender shoot off the tree and ate it.
human
But what can we do?
gpt
Do! said Mr. Crow.
human
What's the army for--I'd like to know--if not to fight?
gpt
Quite true! he agreed again.
human
But I'm not sure we're strong enough to do anything against these ruffians down below. I'm not sure that I can depend on the army in a pinch.
gpt
You've insulted me!
