apples that came out on that Tree

apples from any other tree. And one
day | found out the reason.
The Apples were not quite ripe
though it was one of the earliest of all
the Apple Trees-but the Tree was
hne and shady, and went out to look
at the pictures of ships that had been

certain, too, that the little seeds were
growing browner every minute.
But still the Apple Tree didn't seem
satisfied. For he began to wave about
and scold little bit more.
"'You see' he continued, its such
an honor for us. You know that on
the day we're ripe the Fairy Queen
brings all the little Fairies to admire
US, and they sit on the boughs and

Whereas, said company desires to
sell as much of said stock in the City

presses the hope that all of said stock
may be sold in this, the home city Of
said company"
