The sports girl loves sweaters.
But she finds that it takes too
much time from her sports to knit
them and far too much money to
buy hand-knitted ones. A clever
girl we know has several striking
sweater sports costumes. She
bought the sweaters ready made,
rather inexpensive machine-knitted
ones in neutral colors. Then she
made them different by decorating
them with the lovely new English
Angora yarn in bright colors. She
used a deep blue Angora yarn on
a grey sweater, tangerine on tan
sweater and petunia Angora yarn
on a pale rose sweater. She trims
her plain little felt hats with bands
of the colored Angora yarn she
knit to match the design of the
sweaters.

Il Wis. Mind kett6nek messze fold
re eljntott a hire s bolcsek sem
y tlldtAk eld0nteni: melyik tud t0b
bet a kett6jiik koziil, legtobbet q
sok mindenfele tudomanyb6l.
Talalkozott egyszer ket tudos
dervis.
Nagyon megoriiltek egymas Ia
tasan titkon mind ketto eliza
tarozta magaban, hogy megvizsgal
ia a mask tudomanyat.
Letelepedtek egy r6zsabokor
ala es beszelgetni kezdtek.
Sok mindenfeler6l beszelgettek
vegre eljutottak ahhoz kerdes-
hez, hogy melyik legnagyobb ha-
talon ezen a f0ldon.
Mondja az cgyik dervis:
Sokat toprenkedtem en- ezen a
kerdesen ARA meggy6zodesre
jutottam, hogy tiiz a legna-
gyobb hatalom. Ha ez hirtelen ra-
szabadulna a vilagra, hamarosan
elpusztithatna mindent.
Feleli a mask dervis:
Mem jol mondod, b0lcs en-
ber. A tiiz csakugyan Macy hata-
lom, de csak addie, amig mines
oft viz. No, latod, magad is ra-
j0hettel volna ere A tiiznel meg
viz is hatalmasabb. Hiszen elolt-
ia, megsemmisiti tiizet.
- Igazad van, b0lcs testverem.
Most mar AIT fogom valiant, hogy
a viz legnagyobb hatalom.
10, de ha beleesel vizbe,
megfulsz leveg6 nelkiil. Nit hasz-
nal ekkor leveg6 hatalma ? Mem
tud megmenteni halalt6l.
A mask dervis ere is ait mond
la:
Tgazad van. Csakugyan le-
veg6 legnagyobb hatalom, inert
ez eltet mindent. Nezd csak, eszre
sem vessziik megis 0r0kke lit
van koriil0ttiink. Tekintetiink mi
lyen konnyen athatol rata :.
Megallj csak egy kisse -
vagott szavaba a mask dervis. j
1gaz, hogy atlatsz6 a leveg6, de
csak addig, amig ra mem borul a
s0tetseg. Ha 0r0k0sen s0tet volna
korul0tted, mi hasznat venned a
szemednek Bizony a s0tetseg meg
a levego hatalmat is megt0ri.
Tehat akkor a s0tetseg a leg
nagyobb hatalom.
- Mem! Mert ha a nap kisiit, a
sotetseg nyomban eltiinik.
Mem tanacsolnam, hogy ennel
a meggyoz6desn6l maradj. Hiszen
ha valamely s0tet felho a nap ele
uszik, NIT hasznal ennek hatal-
maj A sugarai mem t0rnek at
felh6n.
Igaz. Icy hat a felho a leg
nagyobb hatalom.
Mem! Hiszen jon a szel es ell
hajtja a felh6t.
- Tehat szel...
Ez sem! A hegy utjat allja
d szelnek.
Ez igaz! En- tehat a hegyet
tekintem legnagyobb hatalom-
max.
Mem jol teszed testverem. /
Hiszen ha fold rengeni kezd, 0sz
szeomlik a hegy. A fold meg a
hegynel is er6sebb, ha megharag-
silk.
