Story 105
                                                       Impeached


               Joan and Bill walked to the forest far reaches, where they climbed


               some tall beeches. But when they came down they found in their


               breeches, blood-sucking leeches! So, they ran home making blood-

               curdling, screeches !



               Their mother said, “ I will not make a speech, nor will I preach. But I


               hope that this will teach you each, that a promise you do not breach.

               You promised to pick only peaches, but instead you climbed those high


               forbidden beeches. Now that your promise has been breached, your


               total character is therefore impeached!”




              Story 106


                                                The Prayerful Swede


               The Swede, dressed in his best tweed, mounted his steed, and galloped


               off at exceedingly fast speed. He was late for church in Runnymede!


               In church, he said the Apostles’ Creed, promised not to sin by greed,


               and prayed for the souls in purgatory to be freed. He prayed to heed


               the Holy Word and daily do a good deed, especially by helping those in


               need. Finally, he prayed that his business would               succeed, and that his

               hairline would not, recede!
