Story 194
Alike
Mike and Ike are so alike. They both like to whistle like the wood
shrike. They both like to pedal a unibike. Both like to mountain
hike. And both like to fish for pike, though neither has ever had
a strike.
Story 195
A Lady of Inimitable Style
There once lived a lady of in•im•i•ta•ble style.
Her abode was on a small Med•i•ter•ra•ne•an
isle, about a mile from the mouth of the river
Nile.
Her house was built of marble tile. And
everything in it was in im•pec•ca•ble file.
Her behavior was never vile. And even though
every man weakened at her smile, none was able
to pass her trial and walk her down the wedding
aisle.
Story 196
A Precious Child
"Kyle is a precious child. He never gets riled," his mother said as she smiled.
"Watching television often makes children wild, but watching none has made
him mild and quite gentle styled."
