That is why it is just too bad that so many human beings make more trouble ior their neighbors in the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. The Big River had made a mis- oner oi Flaptoes. Perhaps that isn't quite the way it really -was. Perhaps I should say that the Big River and Jack Frost had made a prison- er ci Flaptoea. He was in a. very small bit of open water. so small that he couldn't get out or it.

South took the mat trick in his own hand. with the diamond king. then led the trump six. when West showed nut dumniyls king was oi course played, and South still could. have got back on the right course by turning to spade estabiishrneiit. but he was stubborn-he wanted to get rid at his singleton club! so he took the proved heart finesse in his own hand. then led his diamond live and iinessed dummy! ten.
