there must he a lot OF humidity

Puss in, Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

~ NE day as Puss entered
deep forest he heard
" bird singing in the tree
Here is where the fairies dwell,
Far from human eyes;
Here they dance and play and sing
Safe from rude surprise.
And just then a half horse
chestnut, with damask-
lining, mounted on four ivy-berry
wheels and with four shining bee
ties for horses, came driving by. 4
little fairy sat in the carriage and
famed herself with a f1y's wing.
At the sight OF Puss. however, she
stopped, and gathering up her Grim
son satin dress jumped from the
carriage.
why do you intrude yourself in
our fairy delI?" she asked Puss.
DO you not know that We fairies
dislike to be seen by those who live
in the great, busy world?"
I'm very sorry to annoy you.
replied little Puss Junior. but L
am a traveller and my name is Puss
in Boots Junior"
And when the little fairy heard
that she said:
"Are YOU indeed the son OF the
famous Puss in Boots" And then
she called a yellow butterfly and
told him to show Puss the way 10
her palace.
Il would take you in my hsr-
rage. only there isn't room for
your big toe" laughed the fairy. az
she climbed into her chariot and
whipped up her beetle horses.
Well. when Puss reached her pal
ace he found her resting on couch
OF real forest velvet. covered with
an orange-colored maple-leaf for a
shawl. Puss sat like a giant with
in her tiny palace. and was almost
afraid to move for fear he would
knock down the chandelier. which
was made out OF beautiful wax
befl-shaped flowers inside.of which
were tiny firefies. who made the
palace at night almost as bright as
day
And while Pug was sitting
quietly on a couch silvery voice
was heard outside. And pretty
soon little fairy came gliding
down a staircase of woodbine
which twined around a tree.
Come with me to the water
fall,' she said to Puss. I'VE will
gather some checkerberries cor the
Fairy Queen" So Puss bowed to
the Queen and followed the little
fairy. And when they came TO the
waterfall he watched her cross
bridge which a big black spider had
stretched from one bank TO the
other. But Puss didn't cross over
that way. Oh. my. no. II he had
fear the spiders bridge would
have broken in two. He just
Jumped across the brook and Felped
the little fairy pick the red berries
for the Fairy Queen, who made
wonderful jam from them.
And when )he had almost a quart
he picked up the little fairy and
Jumped back over the brook, for by
this time the big black spider had
closed the entrance of the bridge
with a hundred tiny ropes. for no
one was allowed to use the bridge
after sundown. N0u see. the big
black spider was the bridgekeeper
for the FHiry Queen.
When Puss returned to the pal
see the Queen said to him: Il will
give you a drink OF my magic
checkerberry wine and then you
win become as tiny as a fairy"
And in the next stor" You shall
hear what happened after that.
