SIMPLE STORIES
ETERNAL TRIANGLE | SAT behind them in the tram. : "Yes, it was a sad thing," said the | first man. "He killed her all right. And horribly mutilated she was, too. They couldn’t get the body off him for two days, he carried it with him wherever he went." "Whatever made him do that?" asked the second man. "I always enjoyed my visits to see him." ‘ "Well, we don’t quite know. Another female came over from Tasmania. Maybe he began to lose interest in his old woman." "Maybe his old woman attacked the | Tasmanian, and he tried ticking her off and just went a bit too far." "T think perhaps he just couldn’t stand two females nagging each other all the time. It was a pity, all right, but I suppose it was Nature’s solution. Only two to provide fish for no.., and less cleaning to do. Two polar bears are all that is needed in a zoo like ours, when all’s said and done, but I do wonder why he wouldn’t part with the body." (Contributions are invited.
