Nimble Deer in "What Brownie Wanted"

Nimble Deer had stopped at Brownie Beaver's pond to get a drink. Just as he raised his head from the water he spied Brownie a little way off, on the bank, gnawing at a box alder tree. "Good evening!" Nimble called to him. "Good evening!" Brownie Beaver answered. "I see you're busy, as usual," Nimble remarked. "Yes!" Brownie replied. "And what are you doing—if I may ask?" "Oh! I'm just rambling about," Nimble explained. "Then you're not doing much of anything," said Brownie Beaver. Nimble admitted that he wasn't.
