XVII—THE FINANCIER FOX
There once was a plausible fox
Who explained that he dabbled in “stocks,”
But they found out one day
“Live stock” was his “lay,”
When he “cornered” ten prize Plymouth Rocks.
XVIII—THE FASTIDIOUS YAK
There was once a fastidious yak
Who refused to eat hay from a stack.
“A haystack,” said he,
“Looks so very like me!”
(The haystack’s the one at the back.)

How did you make this pie so delicious?
“Why it was easy enough. I tried the new way that I found in my Libby’s recipe booklet. Here it is—”
Pumpkin Pie: 1½ cups cooked and strained pumpkin, 2 eggs, ¾ cup sugar, ¼ cup molasses, ½ tablespoonful cinnamon, ½ tablespoonful ginger, ¼ teaspoonful salt, 1 cup (½ can) Libby’s Evaporated Milk, with 1 cupful water. Mix pumpkin, molasses, sugar and spices together. Add the mixed milk and water, then add the eggs thoroughly beaten. Mix well and put into deep pie tins lined with pastry. Bake 45 minutes in moderate oven.
