guess all of you have towers. 1 have. Our
yard has bermuda grass in it. l haven't
much room in the yard so 1 plant flowers
in boxes. l think violets are pretty and
go violet hunting often. Some girl asked
the riddle, 'black we are but much admired,
the horse but comfort man, tell me this
riddle if you can" Some one said It was
buggy, but l think it is coal. Am 1 not
