rode TO where the little lamb lived.
She had brought one of her magicians

the Queen knew that whatever animal
had made the footprints vas the one

When she got back &c the palace she
called all the animals to her. Then
the magician started to find out which
of the animals made a print like the
ones in the snow. 1t wasn't the eIe-
phan;, because Il was not as large as
his II wasn't the owl. because he had
claws, and the prints did not show
amy.
As each animal proved that 1t
wasn't his. he was free to go. After
while there was only the lion, the
leopard, and the wolf left and the
magician could not tell which of the
three 1t was. Then some one, said to
his foot in it, and the one which
matched that near the lambs house
would be the one they were looking
for. This was such a good idea that
the magician went himself for the
snow.

he finally did. And there, as plain
as could be. was the exact match of
the prints near the lambs house.

lie in addition is too much" the Queen
said. And as she said it she touched
each of the VOLTS eyes with her
magic wand. AS soon as she did they
