exchange Of Pieces white does nothing
while the doomed man on . is forced
to walk the plank until he gets to the

There are a few minor variations. but
the end is the same. For instance. AT

II then the same waiting swing OF the
king brings the man into the net at

It's the nature Of a goose to 90 in
any direction but tho right one. They
will leave the road at every oppOrtun-
ity, and for that reason the owner of
the flock took his two boys along with
him. the boys keeping ahead of the
flock and standing at every crossroad
to see that the birds kept going in the
