being form a common but lively family. It
is
the

Though life is cozy,
there’s always filled with little
unexpected affairs. The scraper which
always cuts
someone’
s feet
over make a lot trouble. The only
one
that potter is late of the lot is known by his
boss who unfortunately chooses this
very morning
to pronounce down upon
them early. Imagining
that when you are
lying in the bathtub cozily, you
stretch out your hand full of blood.
Pooter’s first

an artery, looking like a
second Marat.

’s fault
which dissolved with boiling water,
potter still
experienced the greatest
fright he had ever had.

preparing for their dressing. But a most
unfortunate accident occurs. When
pooter starts
dancing, like lighting,
he leaves his foot slipped
away and he
comes down. A roaf of laughter is
immediately checked.
