An onion, which had been placed by
a careless cook on shelf of the pantry,

world which it could see SO far beneath
it. "It does not seem possible" !" it muir

of that mucky soil.'' In the midst of its
proud musings the cook placed by its
side a slab of Goldfish that came from

and naughty onion was at first speech
