I mean, I believe that's our ring. I know, because I believe you're right. No, see. Hello, John, I'm down, Storm. This is love and after. And now, pitch. I was pretty unhappy with after forgetting him in a live lion, instead of an iron one, who put out in front of their new public library.

However, after a long discovered that Miss Frederick admired Cedric for the way he was able to handle a lion, the old fellow changed his mind and decided to keep the lion. As we look in on the little community today, we find Abner in the John-Down store trying to help alum in his efforts to become

El Tarzan Edwards, the lion tamer. There ain't no use Abner. I just can't even get near that lion without shivers running up and down on the bag. I just can't do it. Well, you got too long.

If you ever expect to win Miss Frederick, you got the shore-how brave you are. I go ahead. Stick your hand in Irvin's cage air. I wish I could give him that name. What's wrong with Irvin?

Oh, I don't know. It makes him seem like a human being, stood by animal. Ah. That makes it seem like he knows too much. Nose I'm scared of him. Ah, ha, ha, ha. That's silly, long.

Now go ahead. Stick your hand in the cage air. It's no use, I tell you. Every time I try, I'd eat growls at me. I just brought you one to tell you. Well, Mom, you don't lay your hand in there.

You poke it in like you're trying to scare him. Put it in there slow one time. Listen, Abner, when I stick my hand in that cage, I want to know I'm going to be able to pull it back out again.
