Ignoring Scottie's earlier admonition, let me say that "I'll drink to this!":

In fact, aside from the fact that it's probably the best of the bunch, I'd
argue that "Esme" should be included BECAUSE students don't tend to respond
to it. If educators only gave us "easy" things to read, I'd still be "Look,
Look!"-ing with Dick and Jane....

(...and if you're still looking for the fourth story, Matt, let me suggest
some Can-con with "De Daumier-Smith's Blue Period"... At least that's my 8
1/3 cents worth--since my paperback Bantam of NINE STORIES cost 75
cents--which works out to about eight and a third cents per story! At THAT
price, even Uncle Wiggly's worth it!)
