A brazen Leaf, having donned a Canadiens’ jersey, wandered the tundra and amused himself by intimidating any foolish creatures he met in his roamings. Finally, coming upon a Black Hawk, the Leaf tried to intimidate him also. But the Black Hawk, on hearing the sound of the Leaf’s voice, remarked, “I might also have been intimidated myself, had I not heard your bray.”
