it out the rear door before the frisky
rockets had set anything else on fire.
The pyrotechnc display lasted few
moments afttr the box was out of doors
but the I" kids" quickly gobbed
what remained. and by the time the
crowd had gathered the fun was all over
the only exciting thing being dense
cloud of smoke which poured ou: of the
doors and windows for few moments.
