that is I couldn't think of going away anywhere until I recuperate recuperate from what miss Brooks from an ancient melody Walter it's called teachers blight how long have you had that it's just setting in the symptoms are always the same first a hollow feeling in the pit of the pocketbook followed by a general tightening of the purse strings in a word you're broke in three words yes darn it isn't anything to be too desperate about miss Brooks being broke isn't so bad if you've got friends I know Walter but it's just as nice to be rich and have friends true too but let's pursue this matter further in order to affect a cure we must first find the cause of the ailment go ahead doctor at present you are without funds correct correct hence you must have spent what funds you possessed on something other than that what you'd like to have said funds available for now mustn't you it will take more than summer school to straighten out that sentence what I mean miss Brooks is that you have enough money for a vacation now because of the way you let it slip through your fingers earlier in the season you're right Walter I could have afforded a wonderful week in the country if I hadn't frittered away all my earnings on food and rent here's some nice scrambled ham and baked eggs it's a brand new recipe I discovered it's called ham and eggs country style in what country if you'll excuse me Walter I'd like to look through some more of these magazines while you're eating I've been trying to find some way to make some money in my spare time oh gosh why didn't you say so miss

business is miss Brooks no it's taxidermy taxidermy yeah you know where your stuff stuff not just any stuff birds and animals and things like that that people grow attached to well I don't know kids I don't think that miss Brooks my dad is furnishing all the equipment he used to be in that business you know it's really a public service miss Brooks like when old mr. Phillips you know the man who has the farm right nearby well one of his pet oxen died and he felt terrible till stretches dad fixed him up sure now the ox is still standing in his stall out in the barn and and mr. Phillips can run in and see him every once in a while he's exactly like when he was alive without the pulling power of course it's a great business miss Brooks and just think you don't have to make any investment all you need is an apron and something sharp but you better think it over miss Brooks taxidermy may not be a dignified enough avocation for a school teacher well I'm afraid Harriet's right besides I wouldn't want to deplete your share of the earnings I imagine there isn't too much money in that well with the orders we got in already we should gross almost a hundred dollars the plus some swell leads that you could follow up as a contact man sure all together will clear about fifty dollars a piece did you say fifty dollars sure stretch yes miss Brooks throw me an apron and oxen something sharp although a little dubious about my new extracurricular activity stuffing stuff incorporated I was determined to raise some extra money I got my first opportunity as a taxidermy salesman during lunch period excuse me miss Brooks but I've got a wonderful lead for our new business really Harriet who is it my father your father but you've got a moose head in your living room now he wants something stuff I happen to know that he caught a fish up at Crystal Lake yesterday and he's entering it in his fishing club's annual contest this afternoon maybe you can sell him the idea of having it mounted but why me why don't you sell him the idea because coming from me the whole thing would seem like kid stuff to daddy but with you handling it the whole project takes on weight I guess this girdle has given up the ghost look Harriet your father's a pretty tough customer and I'm not the logical contender you shouldn't be afraid of daddy miss Brooks his bark is much worse than his bite I don't know about that a bite you can have caught a rise this is a great opportunity to get our business off to a flying star why did he catch a flying fish you'll take a crack at daddy well if you'll get somebody to hold him out I mean if you think I ought to Harriet I'll talk to your father is he having lunch in the cafeteria no miss Brooks since he went fishing yesterday he can't stand the side of food so he's taken a baked apple to his office not go ahead miss Brooks beard the lion in its den all right Harriet I'll try to beard the lion but I'd feel a lot better if I'd once removed a thorn from his paw me mr. Conklin could I see you for a moment I suppose so miss Brooks have a seat I'm trying to get this baked apple down who won the first fall I heard you were a little upset lately yes yes ever since my little expedition to Crystal Lake yesterday but it was worth it miss Brooks I landed a beauty even though the lake got pretty rough for a while there oh I know the feeling mr. Conklin the last time I went fishing it got pretty choppy I'll never forget how that boat pitched and rolled and pitched and rolled if you don't mind miss Brooks I wish you'd postpone the recital of your experience at sea till I had another go at this baked apple what I wanted to talk to you about was that beauty you hauled in yesterday now you must admit mr. Conklin that there's nothing quite as unprepossessing as a dead fish miss Brooks there must be something else we can chat about oh this is important mr. Conklin do you realize that I can transform into a vibrant beautiful object what is now nothing but a cold gray sodden mass how you asked I do not well I'll tell you why taxidermy mr. Conklin take mr. Phillips the farmer months after it passed away mr. Phillips could still go out to his barn and see his pet ox standing there well bully for him for another try at this baked apple mr. Conklin I'm afraid you underestimate the importance of taxidermy have you any idea of what it takes to stuff an ox miss Brooks would you like this baked apple thanks mr. Conklin I just had some stuffed peppers for lunch naturally now what is all this nonsense about taxidermy well frankly mr. Conklin I'm trying to earn a little extra money in my spare time but miss Brooks taxidermy your fish will make a wonderful trophy especially if it wins the contest this afternoon but I'm not at all sure it will win the contest it's only a 29 inch bass last year it took a 32 inch to win well then you should turn the fish over to us before the contest taxidermy will make it even larger I'm surprised at you miss Brooks stuffing fish you a public educator stooping to such to such larger inches larger you'll find the speckled beauty in the cafeteria refrigerator it's roomier than the one we have at home oh thank you mr. Conklin you won't be sorry the club is meeting at my home at five sharp you're sure you can have it there by then positive mr. Conklin very well oh one more thing miss Brooks what is it going to cost me to stuff my fish shall we say a fin mr. Conklin then we're bound to run into each other that's where this bass and I are headed well here we are mrs. Davis who's that with you this is a 29 inch bass which is about to be preserved for mr. Conklin and posterity oh hello Minerva she's hungry again but so far I haven't given into her I don't like the way she stuffs herself lately me either it isn't fair to us taxidermists let me put this fish in the ice box till the kids get here hmm there that ought to keep until my business associates arrive your business associates Harriet Walter and stretch I'm sales manager of stuffing stuff incorporated I just put my first client in the icebox mr. Conklin commissioned us to have his fish mounted what a charming notion and now if you'll excuse me dear I've got some shopping to do I was on my way out the back door when you came in certainly mrs. Davis oh is it all right if we use the kitchen for a little while of course dear just help yourselves goodbye mrs. Davis we're stuffing mr. Conklin's bass hooray hooray coming here we are mrs. Brooks yep here we are come in boys where's Harriet oh she didn't come mrs. Brooks she says she'd rather sit this part of the business out it gets kind of gookie I think I'll sit with her where's the subject back in the kitchen just follow me it's a pretty good size fish boys I hope it doesn't take too long to do the job oh it'll just be a few minutes mrs. Brooks nothing to it old stretch just takes out his pointy knife and nevermind the details water the fish is in the icebox here now that's funny I put it right on the bottom shelf well isn't there now she looks like the cat that swallowed the canary she looks like the cat that swallowed the canary that swallowed the bass look mrs. Brooks look at this skeleton over here in the corner what's it doing out of my closet it's all that's left of the fish gosh I can't stop a skeleton simply terrible boys mr. Conklin's fishing clubs meeting at his home in a couple of hours oh manoeuvre how could you do this to me the way you eat you should point instead of meowing serves you right now get out of this kitchen before I pay some fins on you and put you on a board there's only one thing we can do you kids you'll have to run down to Hershey's market and buy the closest thing to a 29 inch bass that they've got all great mrs. Brooks and mr. Conklin will never know the difference I hope not now hurry come on stretch okay Walter oh just one thing mrs. Brooks what color fish should we ask for color as for I don't know bass color I guess here we are mrs. Brooks put him on the kitchen table here stretch okay Walter I think the first thing to do is spray him with a bottle of sweet air wait a minute he doesn't look as big as the one mr. Conklin caught oh don't worry about that mrs. Brooks we bought a football bladder and a tire pump to those walrus idea that's what it sounds like sure we just stick the bladder in him and pump him up till he's the right size but isn't that dangerous not if we're careful come on stretch let's get started okay Walter flashlight flashlight hammer hammer ice pick smelling salts don't worry I won the rubber bladders in not start pumping there think that's enough air mrs. Brooks enough if his eyes pop out any further we'll be sued by Eddie Cantor and so fellow members of the fishing club it is with a good deal of pride that I accept this blue ribbon for my entry in the annual contest if you'll just hold the fish up mrs.
