Fiction becomes unbearable they gather
a mouthful of moss and slowly walk back
ward into the nearest stream until only
the mouth is left above the surface of the
water. The fleas meanwhile take refuge
on the little island of moss, and when
the fox is satisfied that they have all en-.
barkcd, he opens his mouth, and the
moss drifting away with its freight, the
willy animal regains the bank, evidently
satisfied at his freedom from his tormen-

schools, the cemetery was cut up into build
