This is a joke about Tallstar's deputy name, Talltail.
Talltail: Hey Deadfoot! I'm back from a great adventure! I fell into the river but Firestar rescued me![1]
Deadfoot: Are you sure? That sounds like another one of your tall tales!
Notes[]
- ↑ This couldn't actually happen because Tallstar was already leader when Rusty (RUSTY. Not Firestar) came to the forest.
