                                                               Story 36
                                   Ace

              The horse's name is Ace, for on his face
              there is a race with an "A"-shaped trace.
              And even though he has to wear a knee
              brace with a two-foot lace, Ace always sets
              a fast pace, and with grace he usually wins
              first place.

                                                                        Story 37

              The Dog Chase

              Because the mailman had to squirt Bow Wow with mace, and
              because Bow Wow knocked over a flower vase, chewed up
              third base and a briefcase - her master put her in the safe
              place of a dog chase.

                                                                        Story 38

              Love in Second Grade

I would never, never trade those times, those wonderful times in second grade.

Do you remember that cool mountain lake in which we used to          Ì
wade, our picnics within a willow's shade, and how we loved selling

lemonade?

Do you remember that forest glade? It was there you

gave me a precious jade, and I in turn promised my love would

never fade !
