...only by an aide and a batman, another member of Britain's ruling family last week toured the British front: H. R. H. Prince Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Major General (formerly Field Marshal) the Duke of Windsor, 45.

There really was a caravan of white camels and a new one joined it every time the youngest camel overcame a fresh temptation. His last temptation was to choose between a bag of ashes and a magic wishing necklace that would enable the youngest camel to wish his mother to have her own little oasis out in the desert. By choosing the necklace the sensible youngest camel broke...
