So I told it: 'Bat as manyras you can, Robin. There are more than enough cherries for both of us." "What happened?" Knarf and Hanid asked. "Did it eat the dozen cherries?" Ting-a-Ling nodded. "It flew right up in the tree and began eating the. cherries. I counted them as it ate. Sure enough it ate just about a dozen. Then it flew down and said: 'Thank you very much Ting-a-Ling. I have to go and see someone but I'll be right back.' "So I laughed to myself. For I was sure that even when it came back it would hardly be able to eat another cherry. It was so fat now that it coald hardly fly. But to my surprise it flew back a few moments later. And it wasn't fat after getting so fat?" asked Hand, : = a eo il: 2.

So do traffic lions who drive like the wind, zooming around everything on the road, weaving gustily in and out of traffic lanes, blustering with an- ger at the cautious creatures who get in the way.
