AFTER YOU, MY DEAR HYENAS
TEN CENTS TO SEE THE
LAUGHING HYENAS LAUGH!
ELEPHANTS SUDDENLY CALLED
BACK TO THE JUNGLE
HAVE A LEMON, ATWELL?
DON’T FORGET SCOUT LAW,
“SMILE AND LOOK PLEASANT”
“Take one shoe from each pair,” Frankie ordered. “They can’t wear the other one, and it will make something for them to carry. Same with socks and stockings. And leave them one garter each. Now pitch the rest—everything—in the boat.”
In less than five minutes the tree trunks were decorated with signs and artistic representations of hyenas laughing, ironic directions for reaching home, and so forth. From one tree there dangled here and there an odd shoe, an odd sock, or a garter. A sign proclaimed this “The Shoe Tree,” and another sign invited the beholder to “Help Yourself.”
