And he went back through the Wet Wild Woods , waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone . But he never told anybody . When the Man and the Dog came back from hunting , the Man said , ` What is Wild Horse doing here ? ' And the Woman said , ` His name is not Wild Horse any more , but the First Servant , because he will carry us from place to place for always and always and always . Ride on his back when you go hunting . Next day , holding her wild head high that her wild horns should not catch in the wild trees , Wild Cow came up to the Cave , and the Cat followed , and hid himself just the same as before ; and everything happened just the same as before ; and the Cat said the same things as before , and when Wild Cow had promised to give her milk to the Woman every day in exchange for the wonderful grass , the Cat went back through the Wet Wild Woods waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone , just the same as before . But he never told anybody . And when the Man and the Horse and the Dog came home from hunting and asked the same questions same as before , the Woman said , ` Her name is not Wild Cow any more , but the Giver of Good Food . She will give us the warm white milk for always and always and always , and I will take care of her while you and the First Friend and the First Servant go hunting . Next day the Cat waited to see if any other Wild thing would go up to the Cave , but no one moved in the Wet Wild Woods , so the Cat walked there by himself ; and he saw the Woman milking the Cow , and he saw the light of the fire in the Cave , and he smelt the smell of the warm white milk . Cat said , ' O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy , where did Wild Cow go ? ' The Woman laughed and said , ` Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods , go back to the Woods again , for I have braided up my hair , and I have put away the magic blade-bone , and we have no more need of either friends or servants in our Cave . Cat said , ' I am not a friend , and I am not a servant . I am the Cat who walks by himself , and I wish to come into your cave . ' Woman said , ` Then why did you not come with First Friend on the first night ? ' Cat grew very angry and said , ` Has Wild Dog told tales of me ? ' Then the Woman laughed and said , ` You are the Cat who walks by himself , and all places are alike to you . Your are neither a friend nor a servant . You have said it yourself . Go away and walk by yourself in all places alike . '
Then Cat pretended to be sorry and said , ` Must I never XXXXX into the Cave ?
