which would result in or pave the
way for customs unions: strict watch
on those groups which combined pro-

who thought she was the most
beautiful little girl that ever lived
and they told her so. And she had
aunts and uncles, who leased her

her how pretty she was. And her
mother and father, and uncles and

told one another what d beautiful
child she was.
Anything she wanted, she could

eyes a certain kind of look; or, if
that failed, making burrows Of tears
in her rose petal cheeks.
Now the little girl has grown up.
She still has a rose petal complexion,
and her bobbed hair curls softly
around her face, a golden frame for
her big blue eyes.
At first glance. strangers gasp at
her beauty But, after they have
been around her for a while, they
say: Shes beautiful. but I pity

as If the world was created for her

OF course she does That's what
