On morning Mrs Peter said to her husband, "Jack, there is a meeting of our ladies club (俱乐部) at Mrs. Green's house at lunch time today, and I want to go to it. I'll have you some food for your lunch. Is that all right?"
"Oh, yes," her husband answered, "that's quite all right. What are you going to leave for my lunch?"
"This tin (罐头) of fish," Mrs. Peter said. "And there are some cold, boiled potatoes (土豆) and some beans (豆子) here, too. "
"Good" Then Mrs Peter went to her meeting. All the ladies had lunch at Mrs Green's, and at three o'clock Mrs Peter came home.
"Was your fish nice?" She asked.
"Yes, but my feet are hurting," he answered.
"Why are they hurting?" Mrs Peter asked.
"Well, on the tin it was written: Open the tin and stand in hot water for five minutes. "
