take me there. A girl came to the door when the Policeman rang. I was addressed to her. She thought I was very cute, and when the Police told her what I had done to the crook she put a nice ribbon on me, and gave me a kiss. One day she put a penny in me, and it tickled. She does it often now, and I am putting on lots of weight. I like very much to hear the money jingle in me. Frances Magor, Form Upper I. SEASONS AND REASONS In summer time I swim and float And sometimes sail out in a boat. When winter comes I skate and slide. In spring and fall my bike I ride. Patricia Meikle, Form Upper I.

It ' s Rhyming Rupert, Yes, it ' s me! Oh ! You ' re a Sweet William. Tell me all about Princess Sue and the bad weeds, said Beth always curious to find out things. The weeds have captured Princess Sue, They ' re very strong; we want her back. [28]

First I was in a place which smelt very much, and then a man started hammering on me. I started to run away but he caught me. Then he put paint all over me and it didn ' t feel very nice. It was even worse than having my mother w ash me. hen he had finished putting the paint on me, I shook and it went all in his eyes. Then I said I was going to wash him. At this I saw that the man w as very angry. He w as going to spank me when I jumped off the table and ran out into the street. I ran and ran. Then suddenly I felt a net around me, and before I knew it, I was in a dark truck with lots of piggie banks. Later I fell asleep. When I awoke I found myself in a very bright store. Then a lady came and put me in a shopping bag, and I fell asleep. When I awoke she was wrapping me in paper and then she put me in a dark tunnel and I fell down and down. I thought I must be in a mail box. Sure enough I was, because soon after the mailman came and put me in his bag. Then I was put in a truck which was going to Montreal.

All else was still, until suddenly the bark- ing of dogs was to be heard, and o er the hilltop rushed a lunidred or so fox hounds, after a small red objec t, which darted across the meadow like a streak of lightning; after them came fifty or so horsemen. This small red object, as you may ha e guesseil, was a red fox. Among the dogs was Tan, a beautiful foxhound. Tan soon took the lead, and caught the fox, just as it was about to leap the brook. He held it until his master came and shot it. Good old Tan, he said, think you can catch another one? Well, on the way home. Tan ran ahead of all the other dogs, and they beard a yelp, and out of the woods came Tan. carrying another red fox. Good Tan, said his master. hen they got home. Tan ' s master gave him a nice juicy bone. Vicky Cumyn, Lower I. WINTER TIME It ' s winter time! It ' s winter time!
