Dear Santa!

The kid was with Santa Claus. "I wanna have a train, a six-gun, an erector set, a chemistry set, a cowboy suit, a bicycle, a scooter, a catcher's mitt, a set of soldiers, a toy garage with cars and trucks and a heavy crane--"
"Okay," laughed Santa. "I'll look in the book and see if you were a good boy."
"Never mind looking in the book. I'll settle for a pair of roller skates."
