This morning had 4 special mes

horrid yellow hair was against his
coat sleeve. and he was patting It
with his hand in the most Iovsrlike
way"
"No-no-no-I don't believe IT."
cried Lisa violently.
1T really IL true, Lisa. I don't

Dorothy was looking very cold and

had feded away. Warm-hearted Lasa
ran to her and put her arms around
the shrinking shoulders.
