Once upon a time there was a lit
tie brother and sister named Nick
and Nancy. who were twins. They
lived in a nice house that had a big
play room with wonderful windows
looking toward the south, where
Nick's teacher had told him the
South Pole was.
The twins used to kneel on the
long zeal under the windows by the
hour and wish they could so to the
South Pole.
They were wishing this very thing
one afternoon when the toy Santa
Claus Nancy had received for Christ
mas. and who now lived on the win
dow seat, began to talk.
"Oh dear. oh DEAR" he cried, FITS

there on the window seat was a box

''Thix box" continued Santa, CON

Then Santa warned them OF an

there is only one way you can get

With the word Beware" Santa
shook his finger impressively and the
next minute the twins found them
selves standing in deep snow in front
of a funny looking little hut with
this name over it's door-"ISHTU."
