FAIRY TALE Fl
LITTLE RED LIZARDS.
6y hary Graham bonner D g,!!ss


It's very funny" said the little red
lizard to his companion as they both
erawIed along walk which led from
house to the street. .buf people
really don't know how to appreciate
ShIngs."
Il know what you mean,r 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. i know what you mean" Lizzie
said again. ''And what is more, ]
agree with you. People don't know
how to appreciate things. Now here
there is a nice cool day. It's not too
cool. It's not such day as there will
be after a time.
In fact. 1t is rather an unusual au-
tumn day. or fail day. or whatever
you want to call It,"
I'm not particular whether 1t is
called an autumn day or fall day"
said Lionel. $50 continue"
And" continued Lisze. sit Is
rainy day. That is best of all. The
streets are wet, the grass is wet. there
is delicious dampness everywhere"
Yes" said Lionel. 'and people never
speak of there being delicious damp
ness over everything There again
they are so foolish. They don't think
dampness Is delicious. We fully ap-
preciate n 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 /
say that I mean life is funny mean
that there are so many amusing things
happening all the time.
; For instance, while /. was sitting
on this walk or rather sprawling on
this walk l heard the people talking
on the porch. Not only did they talk
against the dampness and grumble be-
cause it was raining but they told such
curious stories"
"Will you tell them to me?' said
Lionel. Part of the time we were on
the walk in front of the house | was

Town Made r.mou. by oysters.

The oyster season at Colchester,
England. was opened with quaint cere-
monies. The mayor and corporation
traversed the fishery grounds In

haul OF oysters. The mayor and cor

"Yes," said Lizzie. swell, of course
they were talking about the weather
to begin with and as a matter of fact
they spoke about it every once in
awhile all the time and they ended off
talking about It. too.
lone of them saw me and spoke of
how funny it was we came out and
seemed to enjoy such days.
"I;ut they told such curious stories.
one of them told how a child had
dreamed of bats and had wakened up
in the middle of the night quite fright
, ened by her dream. Just imagine how
foolish that was. Gracious. there are
so many people who think every one
, must be just as they are. I've never
heard that bats were harmful.
"And the child was especially fright
ened because she said one of the bats
scolded her in her dream and that the
bat was a middle-aged bat who was
particularly cross looking"
How absurd" said Lionel.
"And they told that they had heard
wild pigeons ate more than any other
animals in proportion to their size,
/, m2aning that considering their size
they ate more than any other crea-
lures of that same size.
s THAT isn't so funny. They told 1t
as something very curious. To me 1t
is more curious that they should think
& 1t so queer, because / think people do
a good deal of eating themselves and
Z that it's not in the least becoming of
them to talk about the way other
/, creatures eat,
S "Then they talked of butterflies who
Nopened and shut their wings when
hey were surprised and of the noise
lhey made with their wings and of
who'd gone for their winter
sleep.
They spoke of caterpillars who
y would strike their heads on the leaves
ard make sounds when they were rest
ing or swinging and they thought that
y was very queer.
But TO me the queer thing is that
the people should talk about such
= things Why shouldn't butterflies
have their way of talking just as peo-
z pie have7
NO reason at all why they should
not" said Lionel.
. We'll" said Lizzie. I'm glad we're
sensible and not queer. though I sup
pose everyone thinks other wars from
4 their own are queer. For here | am
talking about people being queer be-
cause they think other creatures are
I, queer. And rm doing the same thing
[ in my thoughts. -too!'
