Thinking quickly, the craftsman hollered: "Ah ha, I've caught you,
boy-foot
bear with Teaks of Chan!!"

I guess I am dense. Can someone explain the reference. I am not

You're not alone.

It's a pun on the poem "The Barefoot Boy" by John Whittier, which starts
out,

"Blessings on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan!"

The whole poem's pretty long, you can read it at
