Lesson 29 Text A 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 didn't 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 couldn't stand up properly. Mrs Andrews thought, He has
eaten something that didn't 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- don't eat any more. I gave Henry the last sausage and
now he's 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.
