He helped her dry the dishes, ate all his food (even spinach), made his own bed, never cried, always went to bed on time, made the highest grades, and everybody in his school just loved him.

IS MY Joey a good boy? said the mother. Not only that. He is only eight years old, and every Wednesday he goes to the psychiatrist all by himself! The fat man laughed aloud, and the little girl, pleased, said: Dont you know a joke to tell me? Just one? Dredging deep in his memory, the fat man said: Okay, lets play house. Play house? she puzzled. Yes, play house, said the fat man triumphantly.

You be the door-r-and Ill slam you! Y-y-you be the door, she screamed in glee, A-a-nd Ill slam you! Oh, thats a wonderful one! Wait until I tell that one at school. Worn out with joy, she sat silently looking at' the saa for a moment. Then she rose, turned her small freckled face to him and said earnestly: I have to go now. You knpw I wish you were a rancher. Youre youre human.

Then she galloped away, horsetail flying, leaving behind her a fat man who yearned less to be a rancher than he did to be 41 years old again.

He was thankful he was all alone and could idly wonder about little things such as, how many waves at that very moment wrinkled the ocean between him and England. A thousand? A million? Maybe two million? Who cared? The next second a small, bare-kneed girlof about 11 galloped up, her horsetail hair flying behind her and collapsed into the chair beside him. The fat man closed his eyes, hoping she would go away, but when he opened them again she was staring at him, broodingly. Are you a rancher? she asked. No indeed, said the fat man, with a feeling of intense satisfaction.

Why? Because if Im going to live on a ranch. I have to find a rancher to marry, said the girl. Im simply crazy about horses. Horses are more human. Dont you think Im human? asked the fat man.

Silence. He glanced over, and the little girl politely looked away. The fat man felt crushed. SUDDENLY, the girl leaped up, ran four times up and down the walk and collapsed again into her chair, panting. Your father planning on entering you in the Kentucky Derby next year? asked the fat man.

No, silly, Im training. At our school during recess the girls all chase the boys and catch them. We dont kiss them. We just throw them down and sit on them. I see.

All the girls chase Jimmy Flint. Hes the most popular boy in school. But some of the bigger girls can run faster than I can, and when I catch up theres no room for me to sit on Jimmy. Thats why Im training. I see.

Why is this Jimmy so popular? Hes human. That word again! The fat man felt blue. Do you know why the moron put his father in the ice box? the girl asked. You dont? Why are all men so dumb anyway? He put his father in the ice box because he liked cold pop. Get it? Heres another: Why did the moron cut off his fingers? Give up? Because he wanted to learn shorthand! THE LITTLE girl shook her horsetail and laughed, and said: I just love horses and jokes and riddles.

Heres a riddle: What is black and white and red all over? Pooh, said the fat man. That had whiskers on it w'hen I was in kindergarten. I know the answer. Its a newspaper. Oh, no it isnt.

A newspaper is black and white and r-e-a-d all over. I asked you whats black and white and r-ed all over. This is brand new. Give up? Well, I dont know whether I will or not, said the fat man. Oh, please do! I cant wait.

Its really a good one. Okay, I give up. What is it? An embarrased zebra! She laughed so hard the fat man had to chuckle, too. He asked her if she made good grades in school, and she ducked the question by replying: Oh, that reminds me about my WANTED You may be selling at present, or a carpenter, machinist or store clerk.
