An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses
got off.Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that
no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be
too perfect.
'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam.
'Itcouldn't be better, Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed. 'No newspaper men, no film fans!
Why don't we come more often?'
Meanwhile,two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two
large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves
comfortable,a stranger appeared. He looked very angry. 'Now you get out of here, all of
you!' he shouted. 'I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "NoCamping" -- in case
you can't read!' 'Look,sheriff,' said Rockwall, 'don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is
Merlin Greeves.'
'Oh, is it?' said the sheriff with a sneer. 'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name
is GloriaGleam. Now you get out of here fast!'
