fortunes, we are going TO the Basket

they rented a prehistoric chariot in

been reposing in the junk heap for
five years, and had never been made
to run anyway. They flew through
space at a terrific pace and reached
the fairy city of Miles after eight
hours of joyous pleasure. Here they
were given rooms in a castle called
the Milligan Hotel. The next morn
ing hastily putting on their armour
they engaged in a bout with the For

a lot of fun watching the Forsyth
Knights shooting baskts, the only OBJ

on the floor, SO they had to stand up.
