MT have very long to grumble because

plate.
1t stunned me. l suppose, because
when my senses came back to me,
found myself inside of a large cave.
1t was different from other caves as
the rocks in 1t kept pounding me into
tiny pieces. l asked my friend what
this was for and he said: They are
changing the starches that are inside
of us to sugar." My mind soon
strayed away from that.
One thing that seemed to be queer
was that when came into that cave
was dry. After had been in there
little while was soft and wet. and
also changed to sugar.
began wondering how i was to
get out of this dark, dismal place,
when all of a sudden the bottom of
the cave came up and pushed me
head over heels, down great big
dark, slippery pipe.

and mixed with juice which was
called gastric juice. There was also
something else called the pylorus,
this made me soft. l was now
liquid.
While / was in this bag being
churned, / bumped into my friend,
Billy Bread. "I reckon we're going
to heaven. Jack" he said.
"Well, it's a pretty rough road" I
answered.
After was churned up a great deal

tube. Here l was mixed with some
more juices.
At last everybody quieted down. l
was so tired that l went right to
sleep. But l didn't sleep very long
as l felt myself being broken into
pieces. They kept doing this until
we were all mixed up.e My neighbor

me. l thought I would try again.
