A DAY AT THE ZOO

stpated by u generous sprinkl
ing of One Mud Night.
Then Art. who had just written
a dignified page-one story about
the editor's underwear, added an
editorial postscript nbout the
standards of the letter-writer.
And then they pushed the pa
per through the press, sprinkled
it, and stacked it neatly around
the quad.
That evening, the editor and i
Chirp and Arf sat doing what
ever they were wont to do be- J
hind their desks and into their!
typewriters. There was, sudden
ly, a loud knocking at the door.
Editor and Chirp and Arf sum
inised that (1) it was not the
high school press conference, be
cause that was last week: (2i it
was not the committee for the
announcement of the Nobel Prise
for literature, because it wasn’t!
the season: (3) that it was not
Santa Claus, because his namet
was not in the Pigger's Guide.
Who it was was a Whole
angry rabhly mob of mun- I
geeses who threw the editor
and Chirp and Arf down the
copy chute, poured them into
the press, printed them with
an editorial about sprinklers
and heat in the library, and
Night. It is to be noterf, with
considerable relief, that the
Zoo person was away at the
time and was completely un
harmed.
