Scales

What a funny little story to the

the people who would know whether
they have gained or lost a pound or
two. Folks walk up and drop the
coin. wait a minute, then they go.
It's a little thing we all are wont
to do.
Some one knows they're rather
hefty, so they diet for a while. Then
they're anxious just 10 see what
luck they've got. They are aiming
