"He stood up on his hind legs and looked through the red painted bars of the cage. 'What a palace,' he murmured. 'Beautiful! You could feel like a king living in a place like this.' 'Yes,' said Chester, 'but I'm not so keen on staying in a cage. I'm more used to tree stumps and holes in the ground.'...'Say, Chester,' said Tucker, ' could I go in for a minute? I was never in a pagoda before.'
