How Afi Won His Name
Once there was a little boy
named. Alfred. He was such a
very little boy that everyone
wanted to call him a little just-
for-fun name, a nickname But
they couldn't call him "Al" be-

him Freddie, because that was
his best friend's name and none

I know you're looking forward
to Monday evening when, with
your families, you'll gather
around the festive table for one
of the most exciting experiences

Passover Seder. You know your
fathers are depending on you to
get the Seder off to a good start
by reciting the Four Questions.
I hope you've learned them.
Here is a Passover story about

The Sede'r continued. Every-

of the time when the Jpws •pre

life they lived under the cruel

He even stumbled against grand-

When the first half of the-Se-

But while everyone else had
cake and tea, Alfred grew sleepy

again. He nodded. His eyelids
drooped. He didn't even see the

The little boy fumbled in his , If No Answer, Call TU. 2-1587

"Here grandfather," he said. He
was fully awake now. "Alfred
