Answer:
“Before Bruh Deer can wet he hoof, Bruh Alligator see him and he slip off the bank to meet Bruh Deer.”
Step-by-step explanation:
This expression “wet he hoof” has the literary meaning of entering the water and get wet. The author describes this as Bruh Deer is standing by the river that he intends to cross. This context from the excerpt means that he is going to enter the water and get his foot wet.
