    One morning last summer Mrs Andrews made² some sausage sandwiches for her husband's lunch. There was³ one sausage left over. Mrs Andrews didn't care⁴ for sausages herself⁵ and so she gave⁶ the last one to Henry, their little dog. Henry ate⁷ it up q uickly.

    During⁸ the morning the dog got⁹ ill. He wouldn't stop shaking¹⁰ his head and he couldn't stand up properly¹¹. Mrs Andrews thought¹², "He has eaten something that didn't agree¹³ with him. Maybe that sausage was bad. . . " She suddenly¹⁴ remembered her huusband's lunch. She ran¹⁵ to the telephone and called Jim at the office.

    "Jim, I hope¹⁶ you haven't eaten any of those sandwiches yet¹⁷. "
    "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 medicine¹⁸ at once. "
    Jim came¹⁹ home at lunchtime²⁰ and went to bed. "I had²¹ a very wnpleasant hour with the doctor," he told his wife²². "The medicine made me very sick." The next morning Jim was fine. Henry seemed²³ quite well again too. At eleven o'clock the milkman came with the milk.

    "Good morning, Mrs Andrews," The milkman said²⁴. "How's your dog this morning? I have been thinking²⁵ about him. . . "
    "Have you?' Well, he seems²⁶ alright now, but. . . "
    "Yesterday morning he and I had a little accident²⁷. He jumped up at .me and I dropped a bottle of milk on his head. "
