Farmer Browns Boy chuckled as
he saw Peter growing stouter and

food from his hand and allow him to

folk started bumpity Jour-
ney down a corduroy road to
tiny lake few miles beyond

locally famous hostelry known as

was invariable. 1t never bothered
with soups. relishes or salads. 1t be-
gan with what it's proprietor called
eth meat and potatoes" and it ended
with pie and tea or coffee. The only
other thing that appeared on the list
except the bread and butter was corn
the can when not. Its mattresses al
ways chanted the entire list OF pies
"Blueburry, apple. mince. peach. pun
kin and custard-all out of everything
but custard today"
All these details were non-impor-
tant to the local bon vivants. What
one went to eat was crisply fried
frogs's legs. more crisply fried white
fish, and last. but by no means least,
most crisply fried squad chicken. and
one ate till only skin and bones re-
mained-nor did that remain long.

cats and kittens purred and prowleo

of oars and two frog pals during the
fray. He had sworn to have the
