Blurb -
"Midnight was talking to his five animal friends - Khat (a very wise Siamese), Gyp (a young sheepdog), Major (a cockatoo), Red Ned (a tall, noble-minded horse) and Dora (a cow). Apart from these friends, he was all alone in the world.
'Now,' said Khat, 'what are your plans?'
'I have no plans,' said Midnite, looking sad.
'If I were you,' said Khat, 'I should be a bushranger.'
'Would you, really?' said Midnite.
'I should call myself Captain Midnight,' said Khat, 'which is a fine name for a bushranger, but I should spell it M-I-D-N-I-T-E.'
'Why?' asked Midnite.
'Because that is more fierce and romantic', said Khat. 'There's nothing romantic about good spelling.'
'Well,' Said Midnite, 'that is an interesting plan, but what does a bushranger do?'
'He bushranges horses and cattle and sheep,' said Khat, 'and he holds up people's coaches and takes their money and their watches.'
'That is a very interesting plan,' said Midnite. 'When shall we start being bushrangers?'
'Why not tomorrow?' said Khat.
