2012 TREASURE HUNT CLUE #1: My bones are generally used for toothpicks or threading needles. Watch out, though, if I'm around. I will strike, and my teeth are sharp. (Answer: Sawtooth / Pike) The day had been hot but the night was now cool And as Chicory contemplated the rocky pool She decided a fish Would satisfy a wish For something to eat Both refreshing and sweet Like any other wolfrider in her pack Chicory had a need for prey to attack But her wolf-instincts most often met By food she could catch in the wet And she thought tonight A sawtooth was just right She saw him: lean and delicious and swimming about Chicory slipped into the pond and cast her net out Then, with a tremendous splash A strike like skyfire flash! Chicory jerked back from harm Still, the sawtooth bit her arm It was a struggle for predator's food and prey's life Until fisher, with one swift flash of her knife Stilled the sawtooth's fight Then gutted it under moons' light Though fish had fought back It was now a wolfrider snack It was a small sawtooth, but still too much food for just one Chicory asked Muckabout to wrap the rest when she was done The fisher gave her lips one final lick Then used one fine bone for a toothpick Remarking to the cool water beneath, "NOW who's got who in whose teeth?"
