Story 334
Little Farmer Hugh
The Carews lived with their little nephew, Hugh. On their farm they had a ram,
a ewe, and some other animals too.
Every morning the married two and Hugh would arise early feeling fresh and
new as morning dew. Mr. Carew had a slew of odd jobs to do – such as, giving his
horse a new shoe, or hunting duck that overhead flew. Mrs. Carew had a lot to do
too – such as, cooking bar•be•cue, or their favorite, duck stew. Hugh, he mostly
had homework to do and lessons to review.
In church they prayed together at the same pew. And as their love for one
another grew. God, in turn, blessed the pros•per•ous two and nephew, Hugh.

Is it Not True?
Is it not true that the sky is blue? that rainbows have a multi-colored hue? that
paste is no better than glue? that a hint is similar to a clue? that a ewe makes
for tasty ragout? and that one may sue for money he believes his due?
