Once upon a time, one Little Miss Muffet helped herself to a heaping plate of delicious lasagna and found a comfortable armchair in which to eat it.
However, just as she was about to sit down and enjoy her meal, Someone called out and stopped her.
No!” Someone shouted. “That is an armchair! You must sit upon a tuffet!”
“A tuffet?”
“A tuffet.”
“And what, pray tell, is a tuffet?”
“That is a tuffet,” Someone said, and suddenly what looked like an ottoman without any legs appeared before her. “Also, half a bushel.”
“What?”
“Nevermind.”
The tuffet did not look nearly as comfortable as the armchair.
“And who are you to tell me to sit upon a tuffet?” asked our stubborn (and hungry) Miss Muffet.
“The Narrator,” The Narrator replied.
“Oh,” said Miss Muffet, and then sat upon the tuffet.
It took some time to get comfortable, but once she had, she once again picked up that delicious lasagna.
“No!” The Narrator shouted. “That is lasagna! You must eat curds and whey!”
“Curds and whey?”
“Curds and whey.”
“And what, pray tell, are curds and whey?”
“This is curds and whey, ” the Narrator said said, and suddenly, a bowl of what looked like cottage cheese floating in milky water appeared before her.
Miss Muffet took one look at the curds and whey, and decided she had had enough of the whole situation. She left with a bit of a stomp and a grumble.
Sometime later…
Along came a spider, who landed on the armchair and helped himself to the lasagna. It was delicious.
The End.
