could find any--so we hiked about
all over town and finally rounded up
one full dozen--took them back TO
the old woman and ate six whole,

leaving the states and they are
something I have longed for so long.
We had to use extreme diplomacy in
obtaining them. Most grocery stores

after you get the ticket there are
