(04:38):
I know, I'm not talking aboutyour hats. I'm talking about my income
tax income, taxt. Yes,I just remember that we gave five hundred
dollars to churches and charity this year, and I forgot to deduct it from
my income. Are you supposed to? Yes, you certainly are supposed to
make every deduction that you're entitled to. And we gave that money to legitimate
charities, and that's a tax deductibleitem that would saved me at least fifty
(05:00):
dollars in taxes, and you forgotabout it. I not only forgot about
it, I just said out toYaka mail the return. Oh boy,
fifty dollars out of the window.Fifty beautiful dollars. Oh well, I
read, where are you going?I'm gonna try to catch Archie. If
he stopped to talk to somebody likehe usually does, maybe I can catch
him before he mails that for himand save myself fifty dollars. Well,
(05:23):
Dad, I mailed your letter.Why Hatchie, Harchie, tell me you
didn't, Harchie, Please tell meyou forgot the mail it, or you
mailed the wrong letter, or it'sstill in your pocket or something. He
was, Dad, you yourself toldme to get it mailed right away,
so I did. Oh no,fifty dollars lost and gone forever. Huh.
(05:44):
I just remember the deduction I couldhave taken that would have saved me
at least fifty dollars. But nowit's too too. What's the matter.
Nothing the matter I just thought ofaway. I may be able to get
that letter back. How it's inthe mailbox now, I know what,
Archie. But we could go downthere and wait for the mail pickup truck
to get there, and maybe ifI explain things to the mailman, he'll
give me the letter back. Comeout on, Fred, who knows when
(06:06):
the truck will get there. Youmay have to wait hours married for fifty
dollars. I'd wait all night ifI had not so fast. That's not
so fast. I I don't wantto miss that pickup truck. But Dad,
(06:27):
they always come past our house.We'd have seen them if they were
I know, I know, Iknow. I'm still not taking any chances
on from missing that truck. Well, Dad, here's the mailbox and the
truck isn't even in sight yet.Oh good, we made it. Now,
Archie. Look at the little cardin the front of the mailbox,
and see what time it says themail was picked up on Saturdays. She
was sad. There's no card here. There isn't. Oh fine, Well,

it, and now he wants toget the letter back. That's right.
In fact, I've got to gether back. Yeah, I don't blame

Jug You'll never get rich doing thingslike that, chuckhead. I know that,
(08:22):
and I know the value of money, and that it was silly,
and I do not need any lecturesfrom you on the subject. The whole
thing was an accident, you understand. I didn't mean to do it,
and that's why I want to getthe letter back. Oh, I see,
I'm glad you do. How areyou going to get a letter out
of the mailbox? I'm going towait until them. You can't even get
your hand inside this slot, Iknow, judg Yet I'm going to wait.
I can hardly get one of myfingers in there. Chuck yet,
(08:45):
what are you doing now? Well? Get your hand out of that mailbox.
You're not allowed to tamper with themail. It's a federal offense.
Now, get your hand out ofthere before somebody sees it. Here was
mister Ringw's I would if I could. All right, for a minute,
I thought you said you would,if you could. What are you talking

of hair, jug Head, wouldyou please be quiet me? Yes,
you you're not trapped like a rat. You're trapped like a foolish kid who
(09:26):
put his hand in the mailbox.Now, if you'll just calm down,
we'll get your hand out of there. I'm calm. Maybe if I take
hold of his wrist and I couldpull his fingers out. Hey, that's
a good idea, that yeah,But don't break my wrist now, jughead.
If I break anything, it willbe after we get your hand out
of this mailbox. How you evergot your fingers stuck in there? I'll
never know, even an idiot,even a more and even a madman could
(09:48):
know better than to catch his fingersin the mailbox slot. What's the matter,
dad, Oh I caught my fingersin there, They're told, Oh
boy, no Dad, how didyou do that? Actually? How do
I know how I did that?Just trying to get jug hands hand out,
and I got my hands stuck.Mister, don't ask so many foolish
(10:09):
questions. Pick to somebody to getme out here, mist hurry up before
a policeman sees me and throws mein jail or something. Mister ange,
Well, what is it, jughead? I got my hand out, I
know that, and I'm very gladyou got your hand out. Uh huh
me two hands? Oh right,judge? How did they continue to do
that? I pulled the slack downa little, my hand came right out.
(10:33):
It works, got handed out.Oh boy, that's swell Dad.
For a minute, I was afraidyou'd be stuck there for hours. Oh
actually so as I. But thefact is we're unstuck now, and before
anything else happens, I want tomake it clear to go a few kids.
I want no more shenanigans from eitherone of you. And now I
you understand I want no more lecturesor advice or demonstrations with mailboxes. We're
(10:54):
just going to wait right here untilthat pickup comes along and nothing else.
Are you here? Yes, yes, mister mister Andrews, Yes, judged.
Pickup truck won't be here for hours. How do you know that?
Because it was here just a minutebefore you and Augie, Yes, judged,
I know perfectly well that was justhere before we got here. Dugget
an you shooting if I had arun light the dickens to catch it and
(11:16):
took all the letters, and BillBore took all the letters. Judge head
you know something, Yes, misterAndrews. It's a good thing for you.
This mail box is so small,because if it weren't, I'd put
a stamp on you and mail youwalk to the North Pole Special Delivery.
(11:45):
See, I'm sorry I didn't rememberabout the pickup truck. Sooner, mister
Judd, forget it. That trugwon't get to the post office much before
we do, and maybe we canstill talk them into giving me that letter
back. Oh there's the post officenow that good months. We have to
get in there and get that letterback before it gets dumped in with millions
of others and get shipped out ofcount She whizz, there's Betty. Oh
(12:09):
fine, ought you. We haveno time to talk to Betty now,
so hello Betty. Now, Betty, look, we're in a little hurry
right now. I have to geta letter back to the post office right
away. So would you just comealong and not start to talk to us
right now? But it's very importantI want to catch that letter before it
gets shipped out. You could justcome along like a good girl, and
you could talk to Archie and JudgeHead after we get the letter bag.
But mister Andrews, the post officeis closed. Ye, closed. It
(12:31):
can't be, but it is.I just came down here to buy some
steps, but it was closed whenI got here. She whizz, that's
right, dad. The post officealways closes at twelve o'clock on Saturday.
She's oh, no, I haveto get that letter bag. It's worth
fifty dollars to me. And youdon't find that kind of money on the
street, No, you find itin the post office. Chuck, And
this is no time for your jokes. Goodly, mister Andrews. I have
(12:54):
an idea. Maybe there's someone stillworking in there, even if the front
door is locked. Lots of timesthey work in the back room sorting out
the mail, even after the frontpart is closed. Hey, that's right,
Why George? It is so?Maybe if we went around to the
back, you could get someone toopen up and find your letter for you.
But that's a wonderful idea. Comeon, kids, we go around
the back and make them open upthe post office. Betty, I'm glad
(13:15):
you suggested that. Oh it wasn'tanything, mister Andrews. Oh yes it
was. It might be worth fiftydollars for me, Yes, sir,
I'll just go knock on the backdoor and make them up. Oh oh,
oh fine, what's the matter today? A? This fence is the
matter? Fence? Oh boy?And those gates trucks go through a lot.
I certainly are a lot tighter thantighter than tight. But how did
(13:37):
the trucks deliver the mail? Ihaven't any idea unless each driver has a
key to these gates and he unlockedit when he drives up. She wasn't
How are you going to get tothat back door? The veiggest idea of
that either? Well, I haveanother good idea, mister Andrews, that
there's no idea that's going to getrid of this iron fact. Oh this
one will, mister Andrews. Whydon't you have Archie and Juckhead boost you
(13:58):
over boost you mean, climb thefence and then go knock in the back
door. Uh huh that is agood idea, Well, she was then,
I don't think you'd better try that. I actually, for fifty dollars,
i'd try anything. Now, lookyou and you are gonna push me
over this fence right now. Justyou take one point, actually you take
the other. Well, okay,dad, got it? Got okay?
Now live bays a little higher?Higher? Got it? Okay? Then
(14:24):
going out, I'll jump down theother side. Oh may had a boy?
Dads, you kids wait right there? Now? Will I go to
cry the back door? Okay,dad, but hurry up. Let's take
you a minute. Archie, Heythere? Oh what up? I?
(14:45):
Oh god, what's the matter Dad? There's no one in there? Oh
yeah, you sure? I'm positiveI can see the entire bathroom and there's
no one in there. We wentto all this trouble for nothing, she
wish. Now what do we do? There's only one thing left to do,
and I'm getting just mad enough.The door. I'm gonna get out
of here and go stake at thepostmaster's house and make him open the post
(15:07):
office and find my letter for me. Gee, do you think he will?
He's better, after all, I'ma taxpayer like anybody else, and
I have some rights, Sir.I'll get out of here and we'll go
see the postmaster. How what doyou mean? How in my car?
That's how? I don't mean that. I mean how are you gonna get
out of that? Exactly the sameway I got out of here? Oh
(15:28):
no, there's nobody here to boostme back up. Oh boy, we
never thought of that. Oh golly, you're stuck again. Actually, can
you can you get your arms throughthe fence to boost me up? Oh?
Not a chance to have. Thesebars are two close together. Yeah,
you look like a monkey in thezoo. Now listen to me,
(15:50):
you, kitchen. I'll take yousomething quick. This is ridiculous. That's
stay locked up in the backyard ofthe post office. I've got to get
out of here. Well, mister, and I have another good idea,
Yes, manny, what is it? If jug had boosted Archie over,
Yes, then Archie could boost youback out, and then who'd boost me
back out. Oh, I hadn'tthought of that. Well, think of
(16:11):
something. Wait, I have anotheridea. Yes, if Jug boosts Archie
over there, yes, and Archieboosts you out, yes, yes,
And then you could boost Jug overthere with Archie yes, yes, then
Jug would boost Archie out for getme out. Oh, I hadn't thought
of that. That's no good either. Come on, you'll kids, think
(16:33):
of something, Dan, I can'tsay any here all day, Dady,
government property, get arrested for trespassingor something. Dad, what is it?
Archie? Well, I just noticedsomething. Did you notice? Well
you see way down the fence,that little gate where the post office employees
go in and out. Yes,I see it. What about it?
It's wide open? I see that. It's why open? Boy, going
(16:55):
it is open. I've been climbingthis fence like a monkey for no reason.
At Oh gee, it looks thatway back. Well, that's why.
That's great. But Betty, yes, mister Andrews, if you'll get
any more good ideas to be afavorite, tell him to somebody else.
(17:22):
Golly, I'm sorry I caused allthat trouble back at the post office.
Mister. Let's just forget about thepost office we have the postmaster's home address
now, and the main thing isto go to see him convinced to open
the post office for me and findmy letter? See you think he will?
That he might if I can explainedthe situation to him. I think
it's the next house, mister Anderson. Yeah, you're right, Jack,
(17:42):
get it is? She whiz thisis just around the corner from Veronica's house.
Archie. I am not interested inVeronica right now. I want to
see the postmaster. And oh boy, there's Veronica. Now, No Archie,

home and recovered from the harrowing experienceof chasing the letter that came back anyway.
We find mister Andrews at his deskin the living room, just finishing
his revised income tax. As MissusAndrews adds, when I'm home home,
Mary, I didn't even know youwere out. Well, dear, you
were so busy revising that income tax. I didn't want to bother you,
(27:27):
so I just went downtown and boughtthat new hat. You said I could
have new hat. Marry another newhat. Mad you yourself told me to
get it, and you can paypart with the fifty dollars you saved on
your income tax. Oh Mary,that's just the trouble. I just refigured
my income tax with that new deduction. I don't know how it happened,
(27:48):
but I now owe fifty dollars morethan I did before. Listening for another

I suppose you want me to godressed in old rags. Mary, I
don't care what I look like inpublic. Mary, all right here,
I understand. I do not wantyou to go dressed in old rags,
(04:15):
and I do like you to lookwell in public. All I'm saying is
that you spend entirely too much moneyon hat. Oh is that so?
Well? How much do you thinkI've spent on hats in the past year?
About five hundred dollars at least?I yi yi yi good free,
Oh, Fred, what is it? Five hundred dollars? I forgot all
about it. Fred, I don'tspend anywhere near Marry. I know,
(04:38):
I know, I'm not talking aboutyour hats. I'm talking about my income
tax income, taxt. Yes,I just remember that we gave five hundred
dollars to churches and charity this year, and I forgot to deduct it from
my income. Are you supposed to? Yes, you certainly are supposed to
make every deduction that you're entitled to. And we gave that money to legitimate
charities, and that's a tax deductibleitem that would saved me at least fifty
(05:00):
dollars in taxes, and you forgotabout it. I not only forgot about
it, I just said out toYaka mail the return. Oh boy,
fifty dollars out of the window.Fifty beautiful dollars. Oh well, I
read, where are you going?I'm gonna try to catch Archie. If
he stopped to talk to somebody likehe usually does, maybe I can catch
him before he mails that for himand save myself fifty dollars. Well,
(05:23):
Dad, I mailed your letter.Why Hatchie, Harchie, tell me you
didn't, Harchie, Please tell meyou forgot the mail it, or you
mailed the wrong letter, or it'sstill in your pocket or something. He
was, Dad, you yourself toldme to get it mailed right away,
so I did. Oh no,fifty dollars lost and gone forever. Huh.
(05:44):
I just remember the deduction I couldhave taken that would have saved me
at least fifty dollars. But nowit's too too. What's the matter.
Nothing the matter I just thought ofaway. I may be able to get
that letter back. How it's inthe mailbox now, I know what,
Archie. But we could go downthere and wait for the mail pickup truck
to get there, and maybe ifI explain things to the mailman, he'll
give me the letter back. Comeout on, Fred, who knows when
(06:06):
the truck will get there. Youmay have to wait hours married for fifty
dollars. I'd wait all night ifI had not so fast. That's not
so fast. I I don't wantto miss that pickup truck. But Dad,
(06:27):
they always come past our house.We'd have seen them if they were
I know, I know, Iknow. I'm still not taking any chances
on from missing that truck. Well, Dad, here's the mailbox and the
truck isn't even in sight yet.Oh good, we made it. Now,
Archie. Look at the little cardin the front of the mailbox,
and see what time it says themail was picked up on Saturdays. She
was sad. There's no card here. There isn't. Oh fine, Well,
(06:51):
I guess there's nothing to do.But settle down for a nice quiet
Wait, that's all come out?Good, good, great, jugad.
Could you expect the pony Express?No, jug head, I did not
expect the pony Express, nor youeither, she was jug What are you
doing here? I just came downa man my father's income tax forman an
(07:12):
empty envelope for my uncle Herman,an empty envelope for your uncle Herman.
Yeah, no income. Oh great, jug head. I am in no
mood for your jokes. Right now, I've got to get a letter back.
Huh. I came down to thismailbox to get a letter. He
came down to the mailbox to geta letter. That's right, strangers,
you feel all right, jug head, Look what my father means is I
(07:34):
just mailed his income tax form andthen he remembered he made a mistake in
it, and now he wants toget the letter back. That's right.
In fact, I've got to gether back. Yeah, I don't blame
you. Income tax evasion is aserious offense. They gave alcoholoone eleven years.
You know you get out. It'spretty tough to get a job,
Judge. Please, you're not asyoung as you used to be, jug
head, All right, would youplease stop putting me in prison. Huh.
(07:59):
I did not make that kind ofa mistake on my income tax.
I paid the government more than Ishould have, more than you should have.
Yes, fifty dollars more than Ishould have achieves. That's pretty silly,
yes, judget what don't you knowthe value of money? Yes,
judge, I'm nobody goes around payingfifty dollars more than they're supposed to.
Jug You'll never get rich doing thingslike that, chuckhead. I know that,
(08:22):
and I know the value of money, and that it was silly,
and I do not need any lecturesfrom you on the subject. The whole
thing was an accident, you understand. I didn't mean to do it,
and that's why I want to getthe letter back. Oh, I see,
I'm glad you do. How areyou going to get a letter out
of the mailbox? I'm going towait until them. You can't even get
your hand inside this slot, Iknow, judg Yet I'm going to wait.
I can hardly get one of myfingers in there. Chuck yet,
(08:45):
what are you doing now? Well? Get your hand out of that mailbox.
You're not allowed to tamper with themail. It's a federal offense.
Now, get your hand out ofthere before somebody sees it. Here was
mister Ringw's I would if I could. All right, for a minute,
I thought you said you would,if you could. What are you talking
about? My thing? Is thisstuck in there? Oh? No?
Oh boy, duet? How thedickens did you do that? I don't
(09:05):
know they went in, okay,but they won't come out now he's done
it. Jughead, act like arat and a rat track like a bear
and a bear track. Pluck amail in a mailbar? Let me out
of hair, jug Head, wouldyou please be quiet me? Yes,
you you're not trapped like a rat. You're trapped like a foolish kid who
(09:26):
put his hand in the mailbox.Now, if you'll just calm down,
we'll get your hand out of there. I'm calm. Maybe if I take
hold of his wrist and I couldpull his fingers out. Hey, that's
a good idea, that yeah,But don't break my wrist now, jughead.
If I break anything, it willbe after we get your hand out
of this mailbox. How you evergot your fingers stuck in there? I'll
never know, even an idiot,even a more and even a madman could
(09:48):
know better than to catch his fingersin the mailbox slot. What's the matter,
dad, Oh I caught my fingersin there, They're told, Oh
boy, no Dad, how didyou do that? Actually? How do
I know how I did that?Just trying to get jug hands hand out,
and I got my hands stuck.Mister, don't ask so many foolish
(10:09):
questions. Pick to somebody to getme out here, mist hurry up before
a policeman sees me and throws mein jail or something. Mister ange,
Well, what is it, jughead? I got my hand out, I
know that, and I'm very gladyou got your hand out. Uh huh
me two hands? Oh right,judge? How did they continue to do
that? I pulled the slack downa little, my hand came right out.
(10:33):
It works, got handed out.Oh boy, that's swell Dad.
For a minute, I was afraidyou'd be stuck there for hours. Oh
actually so as I. But thefact is we're unstuck now, and before
anything else happens, I want tomake it clear to go a few kids.
I want no more shenanigans from eitherone of you. And now I
you understand I want no more lecturesor advice or demonstrations with mailboxes. We're
(10:54):
just going to wait right here untilthat pickup comes along and nothing else.
Are you here? Yes, yes, mister mister Andrews, Yes, judged.
Pickup truck won't be here for hours. How do you know that?
Because it was here just a minutebefore you and Augie, Yes, judged,
I know perfectly well that was justhere before we got here. Dugget
an you shooting if I had arun light the dickens to catch it and
(11:16):
took all the letters, and BillBore took all the letters. Judge head
you know something, Yes, misterAndrews. It's a good thing for you.
This mail box is so small,because if it weren't, I'd put
a stamp on you and mail youwalk to the North Pole Special Delivery.
(11:45):
See, I'm sorry I didn't rememberabout the pickup truck. Sooner, mister
Judd, forget it. That trugwon't get to the post office much before
we do, and maybe we canstill talk them into giving me that letter
back. Oh there's the post officenow that good months. We have to
get in there and get that letterback before it gets dumped in with millions
of others and get shipped out ofcount She whizz, there's Betty. Oh
(12:09):
fine, ought you. We haveno time to talk to Betty now,
so hello Betty. Now, Betty, look, we're in a little hurry
right now. I have to geta letter back to the post office right
away. So would you just comealong and not start to talk to us
right now? But it's very importantI want to catch that letter before it
gets shipped out. You could justcome along like a good girl, and
you could talk to Archie and JudgeHead after we get the letter bag.
But mister Andrews, the post officeis closed. Ye, closed. It
(12:31):
can't be, but it is.I just came down here to buy some
steps, but it was closed whenI got here. She whizz, that's
right, dad. The post officealways closes at twelve o'clock on Saturday.
She's oh, no, I haveto get that letter bag. It's worth
fifty dollars to me. And youdon't find that kind of money on the
street, No, you find itin the post office. Chuck, And
this is no time for your jokes. Goodly, mister Andrews. I have
(12:54):
an idea. Maybe there's someone stillworking in there, even if the front
door is locked. Lots of timesthey work in the back room sorting out
the mail, even after the frontpart is closed. Hey, that's right,
Why George? It is so?Maybe if we went around to the
back, you could get someone toopen up and find your letter for you.
But that's a wonderful idea. Comeon, kids, we go around
the back and make them open upthe post office. Betty, I'm glad
(13:15):
you suggested that. Oh it wasn'tanything, mister Andrews. Oh yes it
was. It might be worth fiftydollars for me, Yes, sir,
I'll just go knock on the backdoor and make them up. Oh oh,
oh fine, what's the matter today? A? This fence is the
matter? Fence? Oh boy?And those gates trucks go through a lot.
I certainly are a lot tighter thantighter than tight. But how did
(13:37):
the trucks deliver the mail? Ihaven't any idea unless each driver has a
key to these gates and he unlockedit when he drives up. She wasn't
How are you going to get tothat back door? The veiggest idea of
that either? Well, I haveanother good idea, mister Andrews, that
there's no idea that's going to getrid of this iron fact. Oh this
one will, mister Andrews. Whydon't you have Archie and Juckhead boost you
(13:58):
over boost you mean, climb thefence and then go knock in the back
door. Uh huh that is agood idea, Well, she was then,
I don't think you'd better try that. I actually, for fifty dollars,
i'd try anything. Now, lookyou and you are gonna push me
over this fence right now. Justyou take one point, actually you take
the other. Well, okay,dad, got it? Got okay?
Now live bays a little higher?Higher? Got it? Okay? Then
(14:24):
going out, I'll jump down theother side. Oh may had a boy?
Dads, you kids wait right there? Now? Will I go to
cry the back door? Okay,dad, but hurry up. Let's take
you a minute. Archie, Heythere? Oh what up? I?
(14:45):
Oh god, what's the matter Dad? There's no one in there? Oh
yeah, you sure? I'm positiveI can see the entire bathroom and there's
no one in there. We wentto all this trouble for nothing, she
wish. Now what do we do? There's only one thing left to do,
and I'm getting just mad enough.The door. I'm gonna get out
of here and go stake at thepostmaster's house and make him open the post
(15:07):
office and find my letter for me. Gee, do you think he will?
He's better, after all, I'ma taxpayer like anybody else, and
I have some rights, Sir.I'll get out of here and we'll go
see the postmaster. How what doyou mean? How in my car?
That's how? I don't mean that. I mean how are you gonna get
out of that? Exactly the sameway I got out of here? Oh
(15:28):
no, there's nobody here to boostme back up. Oh boy, we
never thought of that. Oh golly, you're stuck again. Actually, can
you can you get your arms throughthe fence to boost me up? Oh?
Not a chance to have. Thesebars are two close together. Yeah,
you look like a monkey in thezoo. Now listen to me,
(15:50):
you, kitchen. I'll take yousomething quick. This is ridiculous. That's
stay locked up in the backyard ofthe post office. I've got to get
out of here. Well, mister, and I have another good idea,
Yes, manny, what is it? If jug had boosted Archie over,
Yes, then Archie could boost youback out, and then who'd boost me
back out. Oh, I hadn'tthought of that. Well, think of
(16:11):
something. Wait, I have anotheridea. Yes, if Jug boosts Archie
over there, yes, and Archieboosts you out, yes, yes,
And then you could boost Jug overthere with Archie yes, yes, then
Jug would boost Archie out for getme out. Oh, I hadn't thought
of that. That's no good either. Come on, you'll kids, think
(16:33):
of something, Dan, I can'tsay any here all day, Dady,
government property, get arrested for trespassingor something. Dad, what is it?
Archie? Well, I just noticedsomething. Did you notice? Well
you see way down the fence,that little gate where the post office employees
go in and out. Yes,I see it. What about it?
It's wide open? I see that. It's why open? Boy, going
(16:55):
it is open. I've been climbingthis fence like a monkey for no reason.
At Oh gee, it looks thatway back. Well, that's why.
That's great. But Betty, yes, mister Andrews, if you'll get
any more good ideas to be afavorite, tell him to somebody else.
(17:22):
Golly, I'm sorry I caused allthat trouble back at the post office.
Mister. Let's just forget about thepost office we have the postmaster's home address
now, and the main thing isto go to see him convinced to open
the post office for me and findmy letter? See you think he will?
That he might if I can explainedthe situation to him. I think
it's the next house, mister Anderson. Yeah, you're right, Jack,
(17:42):
get it is? She whiz thisis just around the corner from Veronica's house.
Archie. I am not interested inVeronica right now. I want to
see the postmaster. And oh boy, there's Veronica. Now, No Archie,
look, I don't want to stopand talk to her. Now ask
her. I can't help Veronica.And hello Archie. Oh look Archie,

he does. But I have That'sall I wanted to know. Now,
you kids wait right here and I'llgo up and ring the bell.
But there's no point in the wholeherd of us dropping in in the man.
I'm sure whatever you have to tellme can wait later. I want
(19:00):
to get this letter business settled onceand for all. Now your kids wait
right here from mister ingers. Lookat that thar on. I'm not interested
in any sons. But he ge'taware of the dog Aroonica. I can

know there was a vicious dog here? My goodness, mister Rangers, I
did know it. That was oneof the two things I was trying to
tell you, but you wouldn't listen. Veronica, did you say two things
you were trying to tell me?Uh huh? And what is the other
one? Well? The other isthat I heard my mother say the postmaster
is the guest speak at the Women'sLeague luncheon today, so he isn't even
