went looking for q babbling brook.
He found ditch which drained a
swamp. but it didn't babble. 1t was
simply working nine hours per day for

as he looked around for the bluebcllS

He had to realize at last that there
was nothing In the greenwood for him,
and then he softly swore by the dast
of the dead Bowsers that he'd never 20

proof of the acceptibility of his
