The Story of Lucretia McLizard

Mal created the story for a contest to name the mascot lizard at the Whiptail.com web site in 1997 or 1998. He didn’t win first prize, but was one of 6 second prize winners. Our whole family liked the story and Marlies embellished it with pictures. We thought that travellers to my Corner would enjoy reading the story.
