The Butcher Offers a Free Sample

A butcher offered customers a free sample of his new sausages.

A little boy tried one and asked whether he could take another home for his mother.

The butcher said it was kind to think of her.

The boy asked for a paper bag….

The butcher cooked a tray of his new sausages and offered small samples.

A boy named Jack tried one.

That’s good, he said. Could I take one home for Mum?

The butcher put a sample in a little paper bag.

She likes sausages too, does she?

Jack said she did.

The butcher added another piece.

A small treat for her.

Jack thanked him and examined the bag.

Could you write something on it?

The butcher reached for a pen.

What would you like it to say?

Made by a professional.

Why’s that?

Jack looked towards the door.

She says everything I bring home in a paper bag is part of a school project. She’ll try to put this on the fridge.
