The Crazy Dane
While strolling on lovers lane, Tarzan and Jane came upon
a Dane who was ap•par•ent•ly not sane. He was tugging on
a lion's mane, poking the beast with a cane.
But their efforts to save him were in vain. The lion
sprung on the Dane, and quickly the man's life began to
wane.
Story 48
Saving His Brain
Cain is a swain1 living in rural Spain.
He says, "The problem with plane geometry is that it's more
complex than plain. To me this stuff is a physical drain and a big
pain to my overworked brain.
"My efforts to learn have all been in vain. Besides, what
can I gain? Yet I am fain to strain, for otherwise my teacher
will split my brain in twain."
1 A country boy.
