The YOUNG LISTENER
Zo Young ListenersWhen the South wind doth blow Then we shall have snow. ND we have it all over the hills behind the harbour. And as we struggle along to the tram Tony’s face looks like a rosy apple in the biting wind. Like a rosy apple with a bundle of coats for a body and a pair of legs stuck on badly. In the gardens the trees wave backwards and forwards like giant fans and Tony shouts through the storm "I think we’d better cut all those trees down so as they can’t make all this awful wind." Because being small he thinks it is the trees which fan the wind instead of the other way round. The Wind in a Frolic (By Ian who is 10) Whoooo! The wind whistled dismally round the mansion. The rank grass in the paddock over the brick wall swayed this way and that. In the village people chased their hats angrily whilst the wind was chuckling to himself, and the clouds in the sky bowled merrily before him. The Lucky Kitten 4» (Sent by John) Not long ago, some airmen passing a bomb-shattered house in Crete, heard the mewing of a cat in the ruins. Villagers said it had been buried for three days, and it tcok the R.A.F. men three hours’ hard digging before they were able to rescue a wounded and exhausted kitten. They fed it and dressed its wounds and now it is the merriest member of the squadron.

(JilPs explanation: "You know, they wear kilts."’) ie Changing Spots Can a leopard change his spots? Yes, when he gets tired of one spot he can go to another, Riddle Why is a haystack like a mouse? Because the cattle eat it, Tim Knows Uncle: And. what part of school do you like best, Tim? ~ Tim: The outside, Uncle.
