to make some of his dear friends get in just such
a mood for him. Can't you help him. Can't
you do something for him. Can't you come to
his rescue at once. Can't you all help him who
helped you out of the grass in the summer by
returning the compliment now when his crop is
very grassy. Lend him helping hand in this
his great time of need. Come quick, or it Will
be too late. "
