AFTER DARK. 201 
The rat failed to see it. 
There was a metallic clash. The rat stopped 
dead, straightened out, and yelled aloud. He 
was caught in a trap. 
Next morning the farmer, going round his 
traps, found and killed the rat. He weighed 
one pound twelve ounces, and he was blind 
in the right eye.
