FStep inside my Emtent, said she, I'd Glike to read you Ampalm
FLeave the dollar Emin the jar, this Gwon't take very Along

I'll Ftell you if you Emshould quit now or Gif you should go Aon _ _ _

She Fthrew some sawdust Emin the air and her Ghands began to Amshake

FWhen you were a Emchild at school they Gtaught you quite a lotAm
