Lesson 37 Don’t be so greedy¹!
Mother: Here are some strawberries for you, Sue².
And here’s some cream.
Sandy: That’s not fair, mum!
Sue’s got more strawberries
than I have.
And she’s got more cream, too.
Sandy: Look!
I’ve got very few strawberries
and very little cream.
She always gets more than I do.
Mother: Here you are, Sandy.
Sue: Now I’ve got fewer strawberries
than Sandy
and less cream!
That’s not fair.
Mother: Count your strawberries.

Sue: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 strawberries.

You always receive the most
and your mother and I
always receive the least!
