A WHOPPER.

# feeling thirsty 1 leaped from my bed cot and seized the jar of prussic acid and vitrol, slaked my thirst, and i then stopped into the blazing sundhine to find hailstones falling as big as footballs, undeterred i decided go fishing, so i grabbed a convenient teaspoon and dug up some small worms about throe feet long, i climbed aboard a passing mosquito which deposited mo at the cree'd. stepping on to a floating log, i baited my 'hook; but the worm was so lovely that when i dropped it into the water, it kicked the fish to death, jumping ashore, i was disgusted to find that i had been standing on the biggest fish of all. * * * walking homo with the catch, a 400 lb fish, i passed through a petrified forest; on every petrified branch was a petrified twig, and on every r *. i (nxt co m

petrified twig a petrified bird...and all the birds sang marble perfect. * ♦ ♦ ' night was falling, so lifting it up, i beheld a-fog so thick that, leaning against it, i foiled a couple of fog balls, and with unerring aim, dropped a couple of passing elephants, tying their tails together,! slung them over my shoulder and proceeded homeward. * * * on looking back i was horrifired to soe a herd of uncivilised savages pursuing me in their jeeps, and to cut a long story short, after one had surrounded me, i killed about a thousand, and then they slew me.
