Sud~ denly he saw a wolf coming his way. He whipped out his gun, pulled the trigger, and the wolf ran away. This lad started singing songs.

Were it not for his quick ac- tion, the lad would have met serious harm. When one buys an article at what appears to be a ridiculously low price, one shouldn’t “halloo” about it 100 quickly.
