FAIRY TALE ~
LITTLE RED LIZARDS.
6y haY Graham bonner inner

"It's very funny" said the little red
lizard 10 his companion as they both
crawled along a walk which led from
a house to the street. hut people
really don't know how 10 appreciate
things"
Il know what you mean" said the
second little red lizard whose name
was Lizzie. The first little red lizard
was named Lionel, which his mother
had thought was very beautiful
name.
yes, l know what you mean" Lizzie
agree with you. People don't know
how TO appreciate things. Now here
there Is nice cool day. IT'S not too
cool. It's not such a day rs there viii
be after a time.
''ln fact, IL is rather an unusual au.
tumn day. or fall day. or whatever
you want TO call H."
I'm not particular whether IL is
called an autumn day or fall day"
said Lionel. so continue"
-And." continued Lizzie. ut is a
rainy day. That is best of all. The
streets are wet. the grass is wet. there
IS Il delicious dampness everywhere"
YES" said Lionel. land people never
speak OF there being a delicious damp
ness over everything. There again
they are so foolish. They don't think
dampness is delicious. We fully APP
preciste "a day like this, when we can
crawl along and when everything Is
nice and wet. We don't care for other
days like we do for these days"
Life is very funny" said Lizzie
life and people both. Now when 1
say that / mean life is funny | mean
that there are so many amusing things
happening all the time.
