Once there was a dolphin in Whom the powers of vocal communication vsith humans Cwhich has amazed mankind since antiquityb were developed to an extraordiniiiiy dc- gree. Even more extraordinary was the dolphin's interest in all the media of coin - munication which homo sapiens has thus far produced. He therefore became the spokesman for all the denizens of the sea. Soon little dolphins took to si 'i,' innning lifter him, with delightful, silvery archings and curvettings, and raucous croiikings, tit- tempting to learn how to communicate, too. So our dolphin organized schools ol' little ones, who gradually became more and more articulate, showing much promise. And the silver Whistle Which our hero wore around his neck became ii syinhol of his special link with the World of people. Gil Farr

Laurie Li nowitz I once had a nightingale who was forever singing a lovely tune. We were great friends and spent long hours by the river, I lying in the grass' and my nightingale perched on my knee ever singing. One day we were very lazily basking in the sun when another bird came along and perched on my other knee. A terrible fight broke out and the two birds, squawking and feathers flying, flew away. I called to my night ingale to please come back but to no availg it was gone. Now there was no one to go to the river with, no one to sing to meg I was very sad. I hoped that some day my nightingale would return and it did, but its voice had changed. I didn't care, I was much too happy seeing my friend to notice that. 68

Naurene Donelly Everyone in the forest knew of this heffalump. It was certainly no run of the mill, ordinary, easy to snare heffalump. No, this one was completely elusive and could very cleverly conceal itself from trappers in the grass. Many times the hunters had come to the forest searching for this special heffalump, but it would always confuse them by repeating biting words of sarcasm from various locations in the dense forest making its whereabouts impossible to discover. But the heffalump wasn't elusive to everyoneg it had many forest companions with whom it romped and played until the noises of the hunters were heard. It would then quickly disappear to begin the battle: Heffalump vs. Hunter and everyone knew who always won. It was a pleasing life this heffalump led, always finding the best things in a heffa- lump's life easy to come by. 70
