she did. She got along so we'll tlnt she
also decided to ask some guests for
dinner. and SO she did.
After consulting with her husband
she decided to try roasting a chicken,
and when he hurried in to get into
dinner clothes before the party came she
led him triumphantly to the oven to
show the beautifully Drowned bird in
its pan. Everything was lovely till time
came for chickie to be carved. and then
from the oven came the most curious
looking bird, with wide spread wings
and legs, and, believe me or not, cooked
beautifully without ever having been
drawn.
Oh, well, they all live and learn, and
the dessert was awfully good.
