THE COWSILLS are known to get in a little bit of trouble from time to time. If you don't believe it, read about the time . . .
. . . Barry sinned when he told a girl Bob really liked her! It embarrassed Bob to death when he found out—and Barry was sorry he did it!
. . . John sinned when he got mad once and took his anger out on his little sister! He's learned since then that that isn't very nice.
. . . Bob sinned when he forgot to stop for some groceries on his way home from school! There wasn't very much dinner that night and Bob learned his lesson!
. . . Bill sinned when he told a few people where he was going on his honeymoon! (You can guess why, can't you?)
. . . Paul sinned when he hesitated before deciding to become part of the on-stage group. Now he realizes he could have made a terrible mistake!
. . . Susie sinned when she got mad once and swore she'd never talk to her brother again! Now they remind her about it—and ask her to keep her promise please!

SUSIE SECRETLY GETS ANGRY when people tell her she looks just like Barry and John . . . when she hears about children starving in the world . . . when her favorite television program isn't on when it's supposed to be ... when the peanut butter jar is empty . . . when her brothers say they never tease her!
