Xa Cuesta BeilbuK wiped the tears off of his cheeks, ami said, Well, we can ' t let death intevfcie with our meals. So they went on. The mountain looned up so high that Little Goofus couldn ' t help but marvel at its greatness. As the.v (hew nearer Little Goofus heard queer noi.-es which Bedbug explained as snores and told Goofus not to be alarmed as the snores would get louder as they not closer to the maun- tain. Little Goofus was on the verg? of a nervous breakdown but he man- aged to hold him. e!f together and go on. They finally came to the moun- tain, where they sat down and took a rest. Little Goofus was fascinated at the experience he was having, but fear gradually crept over him when the thought of the dead animals they pai sed on the way, and that any mo- ment Fool mountain might roll over and crush the life out of him. After they had rested a while they started to climb. Up they climbed through the hair forest where Bedbug saw several of his friends who seem- ed to be standing on their heads and apparently too busy to talk. They did not go nuch further when Bedbug stopped and said, This is where wc arc going to eat. Little Goofur looked around, but couldn ' t see a thing to eat in sight, finally he asked. Where is the grub? Bedbug evi- dently astonished at such an ignorant inquiry, merely said, Little Goofus, you are standing on your grub. Lit- tle Goofus looked down sheepishly but still could see nothing that resembled grub. Little Goofus, at this point be- came ii ritated at the thought of hav- ing walked so far and being left holding the sack. His passion rose to fuch a degree of Fahrenheit that he grabbed Bedbug by the shoulder and said, See here, I came here to eat, r.nd if you don ' t get me something to cat immediately, I ' ll take it out of your skin. Take it out of the skin you are standing on, said Bedbug, Watch me. Saying this, he pushed his beak way down into the mountain and his sides began moving like a pair c f bellows. Little Goofus watched with amazement at the performance of his friend. Bedbug finally pulled his beak out of the mountain with a smile on his face like a jackass cutting a wisdom tooth. He said, See Goofus, how it is done, now you try it. But 1 haven ' t any beak, said Goofus. Just bite into it, said Bedbug. Little G-iofus got down on his knees and took a bit bite. The great mountain began to roll over. Bedbug screamed. Little Goofus grabbed a hair and held on for ( ' ear life. Everything turned black. Say, what in the hell are you bit- ing me for, said Little Goofus ' room- mate as he socked him in the jaw. Little Goofus got up and went to breakfast. He didn ' t tell his dream to anyone, and even to this day no 1 one knows about it. 3 i e
