` `
` The lamb is a dumb animal. He climbed the hill to the tomb, but his limbs `
` became numb. Comb your hair, but do not thumb your book. Bombs are now `
` commonly called "shells." The debtor, who was a subtle man, doubted his `
` word, and gave not a crumb of comfort. Take your psalter and select a `
` joyous psalm. His answer was, "Pshaw!" `
