                      ~~~  Chicken Little  ~~~


   Mrs. Fleshman goes to the butcher shop to buy a chicken for
the Sunday meal.  The butcher has only one scrawny chicken left.
He puts it on the scale.

  "Three pounds," he says.

  "That's too scrawny; don't you have something bigger?" Mrs.
Fleshman asks.

   He pretends to rummage around, and then puts the same chicken
back on the scale, while pressing with his thumb.

  "Three and a half pounds," he says.

  "That looks better," says Mrs. Fleshman.  "I'll take them both."
