“Oh, yes,” her husband answered, “that's quite all right. What are you going to leave for my lunch?”
“This tin of fish,” Mrs. Perry said,” And there are some cold boiled potatoes and some beans here, too.”
“Good.” Then Mrs. Perry went to her meeting. All the ladies had lunch at Mrs. Young's house, and at three o' clock Mrs. Perry came home.
“Was your fish nice, Jack?” she asked.
“Yes, but my feet are hurting,” he answered.
“Why are they hurting?” Mrs. Perry asked.
“Well, on the tin it was written-OPEN THE TIN AND STAND IN HOT WATER FOR FIVE MINUTES.”
