In the modest home of The Great Gilder's Leave, there occurs a phenomenon peculiar to male youth. It is marked by the gentle pattering of feet, a small voice at the kitchen door, And the delicate hemp of his wishes.

Gracious, what's all that? Oh, Leroy, why can't you get up like this other morning? Oh, hi, Elk. There's nothing to do other morning. Except school. Well, there's something to do this morning, leaves. Leaves of a corn seagull.

I don't like to rake dirty old leaves. Leaves are nature's own handi-white, my boy. They're beautiful. And Leroy, when you finish raking them, be sure you burn the darn things. Yeah. Oh, good morning, Bertie.

Good morning, Mr. Gilsey. I had to walk clear after the prep for the morning paper again. Oh, that's too bad, Bertie. Yeah, these count-fonored paper boys can't see beyond the end of their handlebars. Where is the paper?

Under the elbow. Oh, oh, yes. Bertie, I think I'll have some scrambled eggs in ham with a side order of scrambled eggs in bacon. Yeah. Coming up, Mr. Gilsey. Let's have a comic, Zunk. Leroy.

Oh. Please. Comics. Shh. You should read a paper by looking at page one first. The big news. Okay, let's see page one. Please. I'm reading it. Here's the comic page. Well, let's see what's happening in the outside world.

Me and Piggy will go. Piggy and I, Leroy. Us guys, we're gonna play football this morning. Later Leroy, first things first, my boy. Who for corn sake? Let's see here. Bites, wipes, dog, and fit of jealous rage.
