"Ah, how do you do. Clarence, my friondi" greeted Archibald.

"Archibald, my friend, how do you do!" greeted Clarence.

"Fine, thank you!" answered Archibald and Clarence together,

Having said this much, Archibald and Clarence were at a loss to say anything else. How- ever, at this moment a cricket with a banjo over his shoulder climbed up to the top of the wall from the garden below. He nodded pleasantly and sold: "Pardon me, gentlemen, do either of you happen to know who owns this wall?

St.

"Oh, not" said Archibald. "Certainly not,” said Clarence, "Go ahead and sit down on it all you want."..

"Thank you again, gentiemen," the cricket sald. "And," he said as he sat down, "neither of you will mind, either, if I strum my self a tune on my banjo, Just to while away the time."

..

Quite A jolly Chap

So the cricket, who was quite. n Jolly chap, even though he was, so polite to caterpillars, strummed himself the cricket-song entitled: The Moon Is A Spoon.

The words of the song went as ' follows:

"The moon is a bird Without any song,

Cricket smiled, but instead of Answering in the usual way, he strummed the banjo again and sang:

"The songs I sing

Clarence and Archibald both .: agreed he was the most cheerful Where did you learn that cricket they had ever met on top song?" asked Archibald, who of a garden walll.
