Laughs for Leaguers

rpHIS story was told to me by a friend X who kept some pigs. The mother pig died and left a family of little ones. As their owner did not wish them to die also she brought them up by hand. One day when the pigs had been turned into pasture (for they could now look after themselves), the lady ; was taking some tea to the men in the i milking shed. As she neared the shed she called for someone to take the tray. The pigs heard her voice and . thought she was going to give them i something to eat. | They rushed helter-skelter through the gate, knocked her over and spilt the tray. They they clattered Into the shed and bounded around the milkers —spilling pails and upsetting things generally. What a mix-up!

To laugh was not easy—but the pigs and the men did look funny. (Since then the wee pigs have been shut away safely.)—Snow Fairy (11), Takapau. Really Wonderful I .

He looked disgusted. “What is all this.” I said, picking up the book, “it has ‘R.W ’ i written everywhere.” | Mother entered the room, and Smiler smilingly remarked, “That moans Really Wonderful.” Mother and I laughed and laughed. “Sometimes it stands for Re-write,” I veiled ns I dodged a hurtling book.— Dad’s Cobber (15), Carterton.
