GENERAL TIN, the tin soldier, was telling Kuars and Hould, the shadow-children with the | turned-about names, about some of his travels to strange, Zar-off countries. For General Tin was (so he sald) a great explorer.
"Now one day," he began, "I after set sail in my boat, and

For they were the most extraordinary-looking islands in the whole world. I took one look at them and Instantly named them the Candy Islands."
Why That?
Knort and Hanid both ex- claimed in astonishment: Why did you enll them that, General Tin?"

General Tin nodded and said: "Indeed I did, explored every inch of them. I steered my boal onto the shores of the chocolate bar island at once, It wes a wonderful place.
