Continued from page 1 



after he'd get the poison off his chest to 

 Anyone who would stand for an Earful 

 he'd snoop off to Sorghum Smith, the 

 village grocery man, and buy his family 

 a pound of Loko, the butter Substitute! 

 He thereby saved himself a nickel and a 

 dime. 



At first Loko was just a toothless In- 

 fant; but the encouragement and Sup- 

 port of Hard Shell and other purse-wise, 

 stomach-foolish Nuts, it waxed Strong 

 and grew Teeth. And then sisters and 

 brothers of the sturdy Loko — Soko, and 

 Joko, Yoko and Doko — came into exist- 

 ence. They Grew so rapidly that they 

 worried the Dairy Industry. And Hard 

 Shell took to biting his Nails, but the 

 Penny was still so Close to his eye that 

 he could .see Nothing else. 



It came to pass that Hard Shell, the 

 Nut, sickened one day. And becau.se his 

 Constitution had been deprived of the 

 Protective elements in Milk and Butter 

 products he failed to Shake off old-man 

 Disease. And Hard Shell, the Nut, 

 cashed in his checks. 



And it was chiseled on the marble: 



"Here Lies Hard Shell, the Nut— He 

 Did His Best Friends!" 



All of which Teaches — well, the Moral 

 got lost somewhere in the Fable but a 

 Diligent search will Reveal it.
