A Long Island farmer came to
Brooklyn with his wife to do some
shopping the other day. On his way
back the thought came to him that he
had forgotten something. He took
out his notebook and went over each
item, checking it of, and saw that he
had made all the purchases he intend
ed. AS he drove on he could not put
aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. He again took out his
notebook and rechecked every item.

this several times, but could not rid
himself of the idea that he must have
forgotten something. When he

asked: why, papa, where is moth
