I agree with you, I believe that's our ring. I know, it's long, I believe you're right. No, see. Hello, John, I'm down, Storm. This is love and after. The old fellows managed to get back the money that Squire's kimp had gotten from them on the lumber buying roof.
And now that they have abandoned Mouse's unworkable apartment house plan, they're faced once again with the problem of finding the best way to spend and Arginey Smith's $10,000 gift to Pine Ridge. And once again, the townsfolk have started to send in their suggestions.
As we're looking on the little community today, we find Lum, Abner, and Cedric in the Chatham-Down Store and Library looking over these suggestions. And as I come across a single good suggestion here, you found any good answer to them you're looking at, Amy?
No, not so far. You know, I believe folks are disappointed about not building and wonderful world apartments, Lomond. They can't get their self pulled together the way they can sit down and think up a good idea.
Yeah, I agree. You found any good or incendiary? No, Mom, I'm still trying to read the first one you give me. Don't sound very good, though, I don't think. What's it about, Cedric? Oh, something about taking your car and driving it into a pool.
Driving it in a pool? Yes, Mom. I wouldn't do it with my car, though, I know that. Oh, or not. Just a minute. Let me see that later, Cedric. Nobody had sent in a silly suggestion like that, surely.
No, you must have read that wrong or something, Sannek. Pushing automobiles into a pond wouldn't be no way of spending that $10,000. You do that for nothing. Agreed. They think no suggestion nobody sent in.
