        Fay Says She's Fey











               Fay claims to be fey and soothsay. But on the in•no•cent she'll prey.


               She'll have you pick a card, say a trey, then try to guess your birthday. She

               may say that your lucky month is May, that you might win a Chevrolet, or

               that you'll marry a Jay or a Ray. She may even say that you had better

               start to pray for soon you'll return to clay.



               All for which she'll make you dearly pay.







        Story 35


                                                   Neighing and Braying


                       Why does the horse neigh and the donkey bray ? Is it because

                       of the road's rugged way ? Or is it because of the weight of

                       their sleigh - a ton it must weigh ?



                       Heigh ! Could it be they eat just grass when what they really

                       want is hay ?
