Hents solt water is orphen kald see-water. Tears is yousphal for to, kri with- when yer want to. Sum peepil don't kri tears, they weep them instid; others busts intevr them. Onley igriorent peepil kri tears, genteel phoax weeps or busts. Ingons is good for to permote tears with. Theas tears is kominly kald 'krokidile tears,', bekaus they are made with ingons. Tears is pretty spry when once they are set agoin'. They never walk, but run like blazis. Man is the oney aniinil that kris xcept the larfic' iena. This animil orphen larfs hisself sik, and then he kris till he gets a square meal. That's all I know 'bout tears. P.S.—Sum peepil, mean cusses, gets bathed in tears, jist to save the xpents of a reglar bath."
