observe that smart restaurants and

that to have sparkling Clipped ice
tinkIing and clinking about in the

Why? Because the chilled water

During summer and autumn, the animal is clothed in light brown coat, matching rather well with the landscape.
 When winter comes, the colored tips of the hairs have worn or broken off, and the white hair re-
