Pyrrhic than he thought. involving as
it does loss far greater in a way
than a 4-inch slit in the awning.
That is because the bird was no
ordinary crow at all, but rather a pet

the Cunninghams as bewildered
baby early in the Summer. turned out
to be very much q friend to man.
The Cunninghams are sorry, indeed,
