Tally Ho was only a year old, but already he was famous for eating. He ate everything. People gave him all kinds of things to eat – paper bags, sticks, small dead animals, apples, eggshells – and Tally Ho tried it all. He didn’t like sticks much, but eggshells were all right, if they still had bits of egg inside, He ate the same food as the family ate too – meat and potatoes and vegatables.
