Tap dancing also fascinates Mrs.

The roaster Is a small electric
oven In which meats may be roasted

the most delicate cake baked, all OF
these with perfect results and at
the minimum of cost. Broiler at

There was little turtle,
He lived in a box.
He swan in a puddle,
He climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a MOSQUITO,

He snapped at a minnow,
And he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito,
He caught the fea,
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.
