Necessity That Is Overlooked In

In the days when eight hours for

The wood rat is small, no larger than

one insane desire seems to be to in

The neighbOring field is placed under

We marry man because OF the size
OF his pile Of sticks and not from an

'shrewd' because, after a fellow
worker has laboriously made a huge
pile. he steps in and Gusts his fellow
from the pile and appropriates all the
sticks for his own.
