Spring has shown its cheery face at last. Trees are budding. Early flowers nod their colourful heads as a breeze dances by. Birds of all sizes and colours chirp and twitter as they plaster their nests. The first spring rain brings joy to mud-puddlers. The brook gurgles and laughs as it ripples through the meadows. Bullfrogs lull one off to dream¬ land and the crickets awaken one just as the sun peeps over the horizon. Sally Kehler Suddenly the sky grew dark and the air was filled with an ominous silence as bulky clouds slid across the sky. Thunder gs rolled softly at first but grew louder as the sky grew f black. Then came a blinding flash of lightening that split the sky in a dozen places, followed by a roar of thunder like a million clapping hands. As 4 the final echo of the thunder died away the rain came down in torrents, but only for a short time. It seemed as if someone had tipped a gigantic dipper of water over, for the storm soon disappeared as quickly as it had come and the dripping earth was at peace once more. ” Marie Friesen a corn Diner norm wind whipped swiftly over a small lake, the shore of which was covered with tall ily mysterious looking evergreens. In the center of the s lay a small rocky island which provided shelter for hi- lating bears. The sky was covered with long low gray 3uds .From somewhere nearby came the long pierc- ng and despairing wail of a lonely heartbroken whip- poor-will. The sound made one ' s spine tingle for it reminded one of the restless spirits of the dead. A gust of wind hurled some dead half decayed leaves into the air. A large moose lurched into view. The noble beast took a draught of the cold water the lumber¬ ed out of sight into a thick green belt of spruce.•• - Peter Brai
