Describe Montmorency's fight with kettle.

Montmorency was burnt by the kettle water. He proceeded to attack the boiling kettle,

"And he rushed at that poor little kettle, and seized it by the spout.

Then, across the evening stillness, broke a blood-curdling yelp, and Montmorency left the boat, and did a constitutional three times round the island at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, stopping every now and then to bury his nose in a bit of cool mud."

Montmorency had always shown a deep curiosity for the kettle. He would often watch it as it boiled when he would start growling at it. Whenever the kettle would start to splutter and steam, he would want to fight it but someone or the other would bear it off before he could do so. Finally, one day, he moved towards the boiling kettle and caught it by the spout and obviously, got burnt. The next moment he was seen running around the island and stopping every now and then to bury his nose in the cool mud

Throughout the trip Montmorency was fascinated by the kettle, he always had a curiosity towards it maybe because of its design. Once Montmorency was sitting adjacent to the kettle and he saw it boiling with steam arousing from it. This increased his curiosity and made the kettle his enemy, now whenever he saw the kettle he made a fierce, attacking posture and went on towards it but always someone took his prey (the kettle) and interrupted his fight. Once in the Shiplake Island Harris, Jerome and George kept the kettle on boiling and then became busy in their talks, when Montmorency saw the kettle alone with steam arousing, he attacked the kettle and the kettle spilled all the boiling water on his nose, which burned his nose, after that whenever the dog saw the kettle he turned about and changed his path.
