Moon Mullins #4
Moon Mullins travels twenty-three miles to return a lost dog to its owner, only to discover the family has moved away. After being turned away without reward, Moon encounters a Turkish wrestler and, after some boasting, agrees to wrestle him. During the wrestling match at a social gathering, Moon and the Turk cause chaos, crashing through the house and creating an uproar that forces the man of the house to admit his wrestling bragging was undignified. Later, Moon takes in a stray dog and allows it to sleep in the cellar for the night, but the dog's nocturnal activities—running through the house and causing a commotion—disrupt the household and force Moon to remove it the following morning.
