Dear Mr.. Fixit: Winter has left
its mark on the surface of N. Drexei

on the street.

made of the city for repairs or grad
ing. The street is crushed gravel

The TIMES started in to play, but
soon the black sheep ran away. "Oh,
Clowny scared it," Copy said, 'by
trying to take a ride" The other
TIMES knew, of course, a sleeps a
sheep and not horse, and such a
thing as riding one was foolishness,

The bunch then walked along the

where grass was long, and tall, wide
trees spread out a map of shade.
Our sheep is gone. Why should

take rest" And soon a bed was
made.
They gathered leaves from all

tin cup. He scampered to the nearby
stream and scooped a chilly drink.
They found wild berries in the wood
and all agreed they tasted good.

But, as he thought, they heard

And soon they heard the gander

replied. This ganders very wild

The TIMES then took up the chase
and scampered all around the place,
until the gander toppled and they
pinned him to the ground.
