Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales of the Labrador Our country has long been called the land of cods, fogs, and dogs. We are glad of the first, we are sorry about the second, and we are divided about the third. The first give us our food and clothing; the second much of our resourcefulness and nerve; the third our winter fun and firewood, but also, alas, a great amount of trouble. They kill any domestic animals we may try to keep; they destroy any gardens we laboriously tend - if once they succeed in getting in over the palisades: thus they are a real source of menace to our needed vegetable-supply; and they disturb our sleep and the peace of mind that plays so much larger a part in human life than most of us recognize. But Providence, which always gives compensation for loss, has blessed us with the most peaceful country in the world.
