and chewed away like stone crusher
until MS companion came up.
"Lordy nav, just look al them gals

The old lady gave one look and then
turned her back upon the picture.

their eyes and held their noses very
high In The air. "Ain't they norridY

Three little, wabble -shanked dudel

themselves in front of the picture, with
their feet very wide apart.
