Sneaky Jake was quite flattered at Mayor Betty’s notice of his hat. “Why, Madame, I purchased this hat at a market in Istanbul just two weeks ago, on my way back from the Sahara. Lovely, don’t you think?”
“Yes, marvelous,” replied Mayor Betty the Mountain Goat. Then she got in line with the rest of the town to buy up the bottles of precious caloric. Unfortunately, how ever, it turned out that the caloric, if there had ever been any in the bottles, was absolutely useless when it came to keeping stuff warm. Even more unfortunately, the Farbisnoters had spent all their buffalo-dung money on the bottles of useless ca loric, and so when winter really set in, they all froze to death. You did to.
The End
