The Little Dreamer,

A little boy was dreaming
Upon his nurses lap,
That the pins fell out Of all the stars
And the stars fell Into his cap.
So. when his dream was over,
What should that little boy dot
Why, be went and looked inside his can,
And found It wasn't true.

health to those who suffer

The fact that it is the best

rich in nutrition, full of healthy

TO why it does what it does.
