Suddenly Jerry knew the cause OF

a flood after all. He knew it. He

thing told him that it was going to
be a great flood, one Of the worst
floods for years. He slipped of the
old stump into the water and he

There was only one place that water

To that end they were permitted to

secret of the training table-simple
