"Why, jake, amt you mistaken
l thought the melon ought to be

"Oh, watts the matter vid your
Jewever see a watermelon that
wasn't green?"
"Cut the melon into four halves"
"Bnt there amt only two halves
to anything; I don't believe You are
reading that right, jake"
"Well, don't have to. But any
how, that's what the reseet SAYS.
Then soak the watermelon in a pint
cup"
oh, dear mel how in the world

Then put the watermelon in q

I'D just like to know how you
can pour gallon into quart with
