Mr. Punch Kept Some Pets

His Favourite One Was Pokey The Snail -

By MAX TRELL

"WHEN I was a boy." Mr Punch

was saying to Knorf and Hanid, the shadow-children with the turned-about names, "I didn't keep ordinary pets like most boys and girls do. I mean, for instance, cots and dogs, and parrots and canaries."

Knarf and Hanid, who were used to Mr Punch's doing things differ- ently from most other people asked him

What kind of pets he kept.

said Mr Punch, after lighting his pipe, and settling him- self comfortably in his rocking chair, "one of my favourite pets was called Pokey. He was a mall."

"Snall!" exclaimed Knarf, in sur- prise.

"I never heard of anyone keep Ing a snail for a pet," said Hanid.

Mr Punch smiled. "Pokey was a beautiful pet. He had a shell the colour of tousted corn muffin and whenever I came near, he would put put out his head, and wave good-mom- ing to me with his two little horns. He lived at the bottom of the garden, under a
