toast' —Shadow Saying “Dear me" Inda wa complaining Tf I don't watch that toast every minute it is sure to bum 1 neve saw it to fail’’ Now Inda (she wa a cook) wasn't faying this for anybody m partici-la- r She Was just saying it to hep-sel-f as she put two slices of brown bread In the toaster But Mtj Flor Ilanid Yam and Knarf — the shadow children with the turned-abou- t name —who happened to be in the kitchen waiting for their masters and mistresses to get their breakfast heard her very well They knew that sh was right Whenever she turned her back for a moment the toast was sure to start burning “We'll watch it for you” Hanid aid to her The shadows (whether you know it or not) generally try to be helpful In this they are frequently just the opposite of their masters and mistresses A it turned out Inda didn’t hear them for she wasn’t used to listening to shadows Indeed if you had asked her she would have said that shadows didn’t ever speak to anybody — which is quite wrong of course Well anyway the shadows decided that they would watch the toast So When Inda went into the dining room to set the table they all clustered around the toaster and watched with all their might Then they began calling: “Inda Inda come back — tho toast is burning!” Knarf ran into the dining room prang on Inda’s shoulder and shouted into her ear Alas it didn't do any good Then he ran

I simply can’t understand it" Knarf would have told her (for he wasn’t afraid) “but what’s the use" he said “she can't understand me anyway" (Copyright 1931 br Newspaper Feature Service Inc) India has a total population of of this number 238330912 are Hindus and 77743928 Moslems 8 Wren (hoW RENts) 4 Starling (STAR LINGered) 5 Ostrich (mOST RICH) 6 Kestrel (clarKES TRELls) T Canary (CAN A RYe) 8 Robin (thROB IN) Puzzle the bill Problem: The number ef U 8419 |
