Funnybones: The Black Cat
A Funnybones Story
In a dark dark street
There is a dark dark house . . .
In this FUNNYBONES story, the skeletons go sledging - WHEE! - and crashing - BANG!
They can't see their bones in the white snow but they can see a black cat . . . until she slips into their dark, dark cellar . . .
