A clean foot

Lily was twelve years old, and her brother Tim was eight. Lily had a small dog. His name was Rover.

Lily liked cooking very much, and during the holiday, she made two beautiful, small cakes.

'We're going to eat them this afternoon,' she said to Tim. 'You're going to have one, and I'm going to have the other one.

‘Their parents were not at home that afternoon, and at four o'clock Lily made some tea and put the cakes on the table.

'Where's Rover?' she said.

'He's under the table,' Tim answered.

They began their tea, but then Lily shouted, 'Tim, quick, I've dropped my cake under the table, and Rover's going to eat it!' 'It's all right, Lily,' Tim answered. 'I've put my foot on it.'
