The trouble started Sunday

kicking at a pile of brick placed
on the sidewalk to be used in
constructing a building. This
puzzled us again that our feat
should be kicking so, and our

use for such kicking, there

jumped both those feet and
went to kicking Grover. The

was that something was

life of us we could not tell what
