Mr. and Mrs. Bryan lived in Weymouth. Mr. Bryan worked in a bank there, and Mrs. Bryan always bought her meat from a butcher near the bank. The meat in that shop was always very good.
Then the bank sent Mr. Bryan to Penzance. He bought a house there, and Mrs. Bryan began looking for a new butcher. There was one near her house, and she went into his shop and found a nice piece of meat.
‘I want two kilos of that,’ she said to the butcher, and he began cutting it, but Mrs. Bryan said, ‘You’re giving me a lot of bone in that.’
‘No, I’m not,’ the butcher answered. ‘I’m not giving it to you. You’re going to pay for it.’
