THE INVITATION
ND now for the invitation. Henry and Tim and Betty and Alan and Leslie and Judy and all Young Listeners are invited to come to The Listener office any time they like, to see the animals. We hope you will all come, so here are some directions for the ones who don’t live in Wellington. Directions FIND the War Memorial. Look at it, but don’t say you wish the copper hadn’t run down greenly on to the marble part, because it’s meant to, Walk down Lambton Quay till you come opposite The Listener office, and on the way don’t forget to say "Good morning" to the paper man and to the dog waiting outside the butcher’s, And talk to the horses being put into the meat carts and the silly little kitten and its mother outside the grocer’s. Cross the road, being careful you don’t step on a pigeon. Walk up a passage, get in the lift. Press the button for the second floor, get out and there you are, If for some reason you can’t see the animals that day, you will each be given one of Johnny’s chocolate frogs, because even he is having a happy ending after all his disappointing adventures-and so
you see, children, all’s well that ends well. And now, you'd better all go off and have rides on the moving staircase at the D.I.C. and perhaps some cakes and an ice cream or two as well! * ee. 8 Tim Knows Uncle: And what part of schoo] du you like best, Tim? Tim: The outside, Uncle,
