Parental Alarm
Old Donald, who had seldom been able to leave
his farm, had at last accepted an invitation to spend a few days holiday in
Edinburgh.
The special event of his stay was a visit to the
Zoo where he displayed intense interest in all the exhibits. "This" he was
told "was a native of Africa; that, again was a native of India."
In due course it was the turn of the kangaroo to
come under review. "And now" his guide informed Donald " here is a native of
Australia."
"Guid fegs!" exclaimed Donald, with dismay,
"ma dochter's mairriet ti ane o thae."
