'fwas a long time ago that this tale took place. A LADD, DAVID'S SON, one night left his AKERS in his little FORD to go to the ARENAS to see a new SCHOLL. On the way he had some 'ARD luck. A bull crossed the road and made him go into the ditch. He took a RISK when it started to CHASE him, but it fell into the ditch on its BENA and was knocked out. But the LADD was STUCK-er in the mud. Then BAKER BROWN came along and made a DEAL with him to help him out with his ALEX. So they both took off their COATES and laid them on DE MOSS so they wouldn't get dirty. OWEN to his help, he got to town in AM- PEY time. Before it started, he went and had a ham-BERGER with some WOCES- TER sauce, and some FRENCH FRIES, be- cause he was hungry. It was the BESTA VOGEL picture he had ever seen, although he only had a BOXA to sit on, He arrived HOM-sey in the YARDfley the next morn- ing when the COX crowed. I bet YUVA mind to KING us for this FRISH article, and we dor1't blame you.
