LOAVES AND FISHES Daddy, can I have a sandwich? Magic word? Please will you make me a sandwich, Mummy says. Certainly. Sweet or savoury? Savoury. Mannite, or fish, or salami, or ham? Mannite, please. With or without cheese? With. Do you want pickle on it? Yes.'please. Butter or margarine? None of them, I just want the marmite on the bread. White bread, or knobbly hard wholemeal, or sliced whole corn golden grain with added fibre to put a gloss on your Soft slices of what you said. Shall I cut the crusts off? No. you eat too much and I like crusts now. Triangles or fingers? Mummv does stars. Ah. but you cannot cut stars when it is
cheese without butter. They fall apart. Triangles, then. Big or little? Big. BIG! (Sob!) You have cut them too little. Oh. Sorry. Actually, those are middlesized. If we cut them again they are “little.” Cut once more, see, they are “tiny.” Once again makes them infinitesmal. You have got four different sizes of triangle. Aren’t you lucky. Yes. May I have one? No, I am going to eat them up all my own self. I shall be glad when you are big enough to make your own sandwiches. I can so make my own self sandwiches. But it is fun when you do it. I am going to sit on the verandah with Mummy. Goodbye. Use two hands. Hey - what is the magic . . . Thank you, Daddy. Aae! (Sob!) You made me drop them!
