that many country boys would do we'll

miscellaneous boys took Goldfish from
a nearby grocery stall and substituted
it for the tinny beauty.
Arriving in the city, he presented
the fish to his aunt. What do you
meanY she cried. This isn't trout;
it's a Goldfish
Rather crestfallen, he took it back,
but on the road the boys again made
a substitution, and when he showed
the fish to his wife it was speckled
trout. She listened to his tale with an
amused smile. Yes she said finally,
it's like you-a speckled trout in the
country and a Goldfish in town. "-Ex-
