Knarf, the shadow-boy with the turned-about name, had just gotten up when he heard the clump-clump-clump. He quickly put on his heavy clothes. A few minutes later, he was standing outside the front door just as the Milk Wagon horse stopped in

Giddap was silent for a little while before he answered. "Yes, I do," he finally sald, "and then again, no. I don't."

Knart asked Giddap what he meant by that, "You can't like it and not like it, Giddap."

"I suppose that's so, agreed Giddap. "I'd better explain ex- actly what I mean when i say that I like the snowfall and yet I don't. What I mean, is that I like it in the country, but I don't like it here in the city. Oh, you have no idea how wonderful amow is in the country!"
