And land that side where water belong.
And I going make a new country
And make a new people."

And make talk for him Pa.
"P a , I come for beg Y o u ," so he say
" I come for beg You,

And the pican go down softly softly
And hold God's foot.
So God look on Him small boy
And H im heart be soft again
And God say
"A y e M y son.
When you beg me so
I no can vex.
Left me now, but hear me good:
I f you go you must be born like a man
And you must live like a man
And you must have hurt and have hunger.
And hear me good:
Men will hate you
And they will flog you
And bye-m-bye they will kill you
And I no going put M y hand there."
And the pican say
" la g r e e l"
every thought turns to safety for holidays planned.
The bright twinkling lights are eheeked with great eare
to make sure that no frays or bare wires are there.
The eleetrieal toys that are ehosen with thought
say I L Appr< >ved bef< »re they are b< »tight.
Not a eandle nor flame is allowed near the tree,
all snufled and put out for the sake of safety
'Hie plugs on eleetrie devices and tools
have all their three prongs to follow the rules.
When up on the rooftop or working on high,
keep your eye on the power lines which may be nearby.
So during this holiday time of the year,
keep safety in mind along with good eheer.
Seasons Greetings to all, and to all a good night.
From the People at Paeifie P»wer and Light.
