Story 8

The "Nag" and

The "Scala wag"

There once lived a young wag who used to brag how happy he was stag.

However there came a snag: he got "hooked" by Mag. Shortly thereafter,

he says, all she did was nag and call him a good-for-nothing

“scalawag."

He pro•tes•ted, "I don't like this un•be•fit•ting tag. But for SURE -

YOU'RE an old hag, and you've made my life a mis•er•a•ble drag."

"You silly wag !" she replied. "You make me gag. Right from the start you

made our marriage flag !"

Story 9
The Exam

Tomorrow Pam and Sam will take an exam far off in Amsterdam. They will board a

noisy wham, bam, slam tram, on whose tracks they'll cross a dam.

They'll eat candied yams, crackers graham, and

sandwiches of jam, ham, Spam, and lamb - as they cram

for their final spelling exam.
