A woman experimental with a little
ache by putting her head under the
cold faucet and letting the water run
and run. And the little ache got back
at her with a fever that turned her
live hot coal.
There is one sociable thing about a
fever: it puts you on confidential terms
with folks you never knew; people you
hunt up for the express purpose of
finding out if they ever put their heads
under the cold faucet and let the water
run and run.
1t is always advisable to consult first
authorities. so the fever-womaH trav-
eled and travelled till she came to
garden where lady wearing cape
of marcelled hair sat under a tree
talking to a gentleman snake.
And Mother Eve settled the subject
at once: -
Did 1 ever put my head under? Well.
1 may have my curiosity, but l was
never foolish enough to try a stunt
like that"
1t seemed to end the discourse. so
the fever-woman, being already in the
Old Testament, kept on until she came
to Absalom. with his ambrosial locks
tangled in a tree. 1t was too good
chance to miss. so she asked him please
would he tell her if he ever put his
head under a cold faucet and let the
water run and
"Of course not. Besides, it isn't nice
in you to interrupt when you see I'm
otherwise engaged"
So the poor woman stepped out of the
Bible into history and tagged along
after Godiva as she rode through Cow
entry town. And she told the lady of
the golden name that she would very
much like to know if she ever put her
fleece of hair under the cold faucet and
let the water
