When a fellow's in love, he'll do anything, so I played sick and went to the sanitarium where she worked. That part was easy, but the fussy old patients in that place always kept yelling for something or other, and I hardly got a moment to talk to nursie. Then I got a brilliant idea. I got out my copy of the Animated Grouch Chaser, and every time a patient yelled, nursie gave that patient the book. That kept them quiet, all right. And no wonder when they saw Kid Kelly's stunts. Kid Kelly has a lollipop. Little girls like lollipops, so Kelly just naturally gets in strong with girlie. Then Fido swipes the lollipop, and girlie starts to bawl. Poor Kelly has an awful time getting girlie to shut up. Then Sissy Boy comes along, and tries to steal Kelly's kid, ah, what Kelly does to Sissy Boy. Poor Sissy Boy. Then there's Hicks and his trip to Dr. Cook's pole, chased by a bear just mean enough to do anything. Then there's Tom, the Tamer and the Trick Kangaroo. No wonder those other patients stopped yelling. They weren't patients anymore. The book cured them. Needless to say, I won nursie. She agreed to be my wife, and the doctors couldn't stop her either. I must say, though, if it weren't for the Grouch Chaser and the way it kept those cranky patients still, I never would have gotten a chance to tell nursie I loved her.
