Then there was joy indeed as everyone gathered to watch the furry little animals scamper to their burrows, stand upright to see who was watching, and-duck swiftly below ground.
Birds sang in the trees, small animals scampered through the brush, and the forests here seemed very much the same as forests everywhere in the Four Lands.
The other birds, having no ambition to be thrust in Manabozho's belt, flew off, and the animals scampered into the woods.
No bird circled overhead; no animal scampered among the rocks.
Small animals scampered through the streets ahead of them.
Small animals scampered away as fast as they could.
Some animal scampered away when the door opened.
In the dense underbrush, small animals scampered this way and that, busily searching for food or water or companionship or safety.
Tendril-dragging animals scampered from anther to distant pistil.
Small animals scampered away from them and a thin rain fell from a brooding sky.
