LITTLE PEOPLE
The Ring postman has been wearing a most bewildered expression this week . . .as though not quite sure whether Christmas has suddenly arrived and caught him napping! And no wonder, for there were such numbers of letters and "How and Why" stories in the letterbox. They kept on arriving until Thursday morning, and, although that is really too late to catch Printer Man, we managed to squeeze one or two of the late ones into the points list. A few of the stories are in the Ring tonight, and others will find places from time to time, so if yours does not appear tonight you'll be almost certain to find it in print later on. They'll tell you why the gorse grew prickles, how the camel got his hump, why the robin has a red breast, why the magpie does not sing, and a host of other things you may have wondered about.
And now . . . close your eyes, turn around on one foot three times, and, hey presto! .. . you are in another land. "A Visit to an Imaginary Land" is the subject for next week's paragraphs. There's Wonderland, Topsy-Turvey Land, Mars, and lots of others which you will invent for yourselves . . . but, please, not Fairyland this time, as I think we all know enough about that. Now, set to work, Ring People, and please try to post your entries before Wednesday. My love to you all. FAIRIEL.
