4 L v Ia Cuesta Cittlr (SiiafuB 3)u Irii-iyiuj iCan Aitlnir I ' likmiuii Little Goofus was consciously sac- lificitiK his liody to the welfare of his nocturnal friends whose existence hroufrht them close to him every ninfht. The very thought of them made him shiver as he slipped be- neath the sheets and was soon in the land of dreams. Myl What a queer place. How hijrh the walls extended. How lonely everything appeared, how dirty things were a.bout him. Little did he realize that he was liminished to scarcely the size of a bedbug and was standing in his own room. Little Goofus walked about in bewilderment. What biought him here? Why didn ' t lie go? Couldn ' t he think? Who knows. Little Goofu.s was under the sp. ' ll of the dream master, and wculd remain in the realms of lreamland until the spell was broken. As Little (ioofus walked about he came to a corner where the Great Walls joined, he could scarcely see the top, they were so high. As he was standing gazing around a large awkward ani- mal apjiroached him. Little Goofus was f lightened. In fact he was ;o frightened he could scarcely move. .My what an ugly creature, thoug ht (ioofus, as the animal approached rather slowly and sat down by him. All signs of fear left Little Goofus, and he asked rather boldly, Who are you ? L said the animal, why I ' m a bedbug. And who are you? asked the animal. I ' m Little Goofus from thi North- ern Arizona Teachers college, said Goofus. I ' m going out to have dinner, said Bedbug, won ' t you come along? Being (|uite hungry Little Goofus consented (juite readily. Aft- er walking across the great room, Little Goofus became (luite tired and asked of Bedbug where he ate. Oh, I eat first in one plrca an(f then in another, said Bedbug as un- concerned as though he hadn ' t a carp in the world. They finally came to a tall white post which Bedbug called a bed post. They climbed up and up until Little Goofus got lizzy when he looked down, but h e clinched his teeth and went up and up until they came to a large white field which Bedbug called a sheet. I ' m getting tired, sai l CJiofus, how much further do we have to go? See that large mountain over there, said Bedbug, that ' s known as Fool mountain. Little Goofus gazed off across the great white fields, true enough; he saw a great rolling moun- tain which seemed to be covered with long slender sticks, which Bedbug described as hair. They w ere getting closer to the mountain now and Goofus saw many more animals just like Bedbug, but he wasn ' t afraid. As they walked over a large wrinkle they came upon a red pond, which hail a rathei- obnoxious oilor. Here Bedbug paused, for out in the pond was an- other animal which seemed to be rather flat and dead. Big peaily tears rolled down Bedbug ' s cheeks as he looked at the other animal. Little Goofus aske l what the matter was and Bedbug said, It is my grand- mother, the fool mountain has rolled over on her and she has gone to Bed- bug heaven. My! she must of bled to death, thought Little Goofus, as he looked at the red puddle about her. They were very close to the mountain now and Goofus felt rather uneasy for fear it might roll over again as Bedbug explained that ho lost sev- eral of his ancestoi ' s in this manner.
