Take 1 large field, half a dozen children, 2 or 3 small dogs, a pinch of brook and some pebbles.  Mix the children and dogs well together; put them on the field, stirring constantly.  Pour the brook over the pebbles; sprinkle the field with flowers; spread over all a deep blue sky and bake in the sun.  When brown, set away to cool in the bath tub.  Dry thoroughly and store in clean white linen for the night.
