Story 132
What Is Causing the Stir?
“ Sir, can you tell me what spurs the squirrels to stir? I have never
seen them so busily whir. They are like a blur. Nor have I heard them
so noisily chirr. They jump about the oaks and firs, as though their
coats have thistles and burs.”
The man replied to her, “ Does it not occur to you, that you can no
longer hear a cat purr ? Do you not know there is a high price on fur,
even the fur of a cur ? Now answer, what should a squirrel infer, seeing
your coat of rabbit fur ?”
Story 133
Herbal Tea
Miss Lee could not curb, her yearning for this tea - a tea superb, as
says the blurb. And because her stomach is easy to disturb, as is her
smile to perturb, to buy it Herb would travel to the city from miles
beyond the suburb, somewhere in the exurb.
But Herb who tired of traveling, now grows the herb, between his
sidewalk and the county curb.
