Jack Thought It Best Not to Bring in Shop
It was early evening when Jack and Mary were strolling arm in arm in the park. Jack noticed that she was looking rather gloomy.
"What's up, Mary?" he finally asked. "You seem out of sorts."
"I was just thinking you aren't a bit poetic," replied Mary. "You don't call me fancy names like Tom calls Joan. He says she's the apple of his eye and a perfect peach, and other such pretty things."
Jack sniffed contemptuously.
"That's all very well," he said, "but you forget that Tom works in a fruit store, while I work in the fish market."
