PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Corr.

One day as Puss was travelling over
an island that belonged to king named
Minos he came across a man and his son
who were busiIy making wings Tor them
selves You see, this man had made hing
Minos angry and had been shut up In
tower, from which he had escaped. But
being on an island, which the king had
ordered carefully guarded this man and
his son could find no means to get away.
So ut last the father decided to make
wings for them both, and then, OF course,
they could fly like birds across the water
to the great mainland that lay afar on.
For many weeks he had asked the birds
to give him feathers, and when ut last
be had enough he set to work to make
the wings.
Now the larger feathers he bound to-
gether with thread and the little ones
with wax, and when at last the wings
were finished the father put his on and
few up into the air. Then he fastened
the smaller pair to his sons shoulders,
but before he let him fly he said:
my son, do not fly too high or the
heat viii melt the wax. And do not fly
too low for the dampness viii clog the
feathers" And then they set of But

high in the sky and came so close to
the hot sun that the wax melted, and the
little feathers dropped of, and down
came the boy into the deep blue sea and
the feathers strewed the water. But there
was nothing to do. for the deep blue sea
had taken away the little boy because
he had disobeyed his father. So the IN
happy man came back to where Puss
stood near the shore and made pair Of
wings for him.
And you can we'll believe that Puss
didn't fly too high, but crossed over the
water safely, and when they came to the
mainland, Puss saw a man On the shore
