he thought the mornings seemed pretty cold,
but, as there was rosebush in full bloom
under his window he concluded he was mis-

yandal hands by strong barbed wire fence,
he was unable to secure rose. But one
evening he lowered himself from his win
dow and found the bush, roses and all, were
imitation and manufactured from paper.
