from her doodle. The cat is backing up and shaking it’s leg The cat backed up and peed on the trash can . Class must be over. But wait, only five minutes have gone by. How many tiles on the ceiling? more than
thirty “a Turkish vacuum salesman in Amsterdam” I tuned in at the right time. My professor got arrested? Yes. Of course. How many tiles now? More than eighty-five? Probably. © 2012 Martha Gilleece |
