**US Backcard Story**

Cherry was racing down the hill looking for a muddy spot to roll in. She stopped suddenly and laughed. "What a silly sight," she said. Hanging upside down in a tree like a monkey was Orange. "How did you get up there?" asked Cherry. Orange squealed in embarrassment. "I was jumping for oranges. I jumped so high that I caught my heels on the branch." Cherry sighed. "Your appetite for oranges is always getting you in trouble, Orange!" Then she helped Orange out of the tree, and was treated to a fine orange tangerine from her thankful friend.
