Recipe For Preserving Children

1 large grassy field

6 children

3 small dogs

Flowers

Narrow strip of brook with pebbles

Hot sun

Deep blue sky

Mix the children with the dogs and empty into the field, stirring continuously.

Sprinkle the field with flowers, pour the brook gently over the pebbles.

Cover all with a deep blue sky and bake in hot sun. When children are well baked and worn out, they may be removed to a cool bathtub.
