wearing his magic coat that changed
color every second, and shaking his tiny
little finger at Robbie But he didn't

i'm the funniest little wrinkles and the
tiny strand of gray hair stood up on his
shiny bald head just like a horses ears
when he hears some one coming, per-

laughed out loud and clapped his hands.

tiny old fellow and they &C I'D fly through
the window together and over the houses
and parks in Washington to the Dream
land of All Countries.
