` Ah ! ' said the Cat , listening . ` That is a very foolish Dog . ' And he went back through the Wet Wild Woods waving his wild tail , and walking by his wild lone . But he never told anybody . When the Man waked up he said , ` What is Wild Dog doing here ? ' And the Woman said , ` His name is not Wild Dog any more , but the First Friend , because he will be our friend for always and always and always . Take him with you when you go hunting . ' Next night the Woman cut great green armfuls of fresh grass from the water-meadows , and dried it before the fire , so that it smelt like new-mown hay , and she sat at the mouth of the Cave and plaited a halter out of horse-hide , and she looked at the shoulder of mutton-bone -- at the big broad blade-bone -- and she made a Magic . She made the Second Singing Magic in the world . Out in the Wild Woods all the wild animals wondered what had happened to Wild Dog , and at last Wild Horse stamped with his foot and said , ' I will go and see and say why Wild Dog has not returned . Cat , come with me . ' ` Nenni ! ' said the Cat . ' I am the Cat who walks by himself , and all places are alike to me . I will not come . ' But all the same he followed Wild Horse softly , very softly , and hid himself where he could hear everything . When the Woman heard Wild Horse tripping and stumbling on his long mane , she laughed and said , ` Here comes the second . Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods what do you want ? ' Wild Horse said , ' O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy , where is Wild Dog ? '
The Woman laughed , and picked up the XXXXX and looked at it , and said , ` Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods , you did not come here for Wild Dog , but for the sake of this good grass . '
