The latest snake" story from Ken
lucky tells Of a contest between
brainy lizard and a hungry rattler. Il
was a iree-cllmblng contest. In which
the lizard would run clear to the top
Of a sapling and patiently wait until
the snake wound is weary way up;
then the lizard would make leap
for life and the snake would also ding
Itself from the tree hut before the
pursuer could get itself Strengthened
out the lizard would scramble up an
other sapling. This merry-go- round
was kept up nearly four hours. when
the snake became discouraged and
crawled away.
