Some Sausage Sandwiches
One morning last summer Mrs Andrews made some sausage sandwiches for her husbands lunch. There was one sausage left over. Mrs Andrews didnt care for sausages herself and so she gave the last one to Henry, their little dog. Henry ate it up q uickly.
During the morning the dog got ill. He wouldnt stop shaking his head and he couldnt stand up properly. Mrs Andrews thought, "He has eaten something that didnt agree with him. Maybe that sausage was bad. . . " She suddenly remembered her huusbands lunch. She ran to the telephone and called Jim at the office.
"Jim, I hope you havent eaten any of those sandwiches yet. "
"Yes, I have. . . "
"You have? Well, listen- dont eat any more. I gave Henry the last sausage and now hes ill. Go to the doctor, Jim. Tell the doctor about the dog. Get some medicine at once. "
Jim came home at lunchtime and went to bed. "I had a very wnpleasant hour with the doctor," he told his wife. "The medicine made me very sick." The next morning Jim was fine. Henry seemed quite well again too. At eleven oclock the milkman came with the milk.
"Good morning, Mrs Andrews," The milkman said. "Hows your dog this morning? I have been thinking about him. . . "
"Have you? Well, he seems alright now, but. . . "
"Yesterday morning he and I had a little accident. He jumped up at .me and I dropped a bottle of milk on his head. "
