Sun Mote Copse The Hunting of the Snark

Pox eventually decided that he had most definitely found the bone. He was no where near where the bone had been buried and had no evidence whatsoever to support his determination, but this had zero effect on his confidence that he had, in fact, found the bone. He began to stab his little paws into the dirt and kick it out of his way, sending clumps of earth shooting in a spray behind him.

I hate to disappoint the narrator, but when Wraen approached and tried to get him to follow, Pox barely even looked at her. He glanced up once to give her a frown before going back to his work. Whether his beloved babysitter knew it or not, there was SOOOOOOOOO a bone buried here, and he was going to find it. Let the other kids go get those loser toys--he was going to dig up the real treasure. Even if it took him all night and he ended up on the other side of the planet--he was going to win in ways no one ever expected!
