"Squidgy'' and "Plue" And as years
rolled along. in laughter and song,
they got older as all children do. They

great peaks, of this mountain that had
never been named. And one day at
the base. they came face to face, with
an ostrich that they thought was lame.
But she rose on her legs. and there
was an egg. so big and SO refund and
so nifty. They looked SO surprised. at
this wonderful prize. then beat it for
home in a jiffy. They made their
folks come. on the hop and the run
