There is a special birthday in the family today. We spent last evening baking cakes. Here is a cake story for you... and a little piece of cake too!
A lady came to tea. She was the guest of honour.
Dressed elegantly in an immaculately white satin blouse and skirt that fitted her svelte figure perfectly, she sat gently on the couch with one leg nicely crossed over the other. Her tan leather peep-toe shoes were the trendiest thing in the room.
With pursed lips which were painted a rosy pink, she made pleasant comments in the conversation.
The hostess brought out her new bone-china tea set with the pattern of delicate flowers and poured hot tea in the teapot. The living room filled with a toasty warmth.
The lady in white watched in appreciation as the hostess balanced the big cake on a filigreed silver tray. Being the guest of honour, the hostess urged the lady in white to help herself to the cake.
The lady took the knife, cut out a neat little triangular piece of the cake and set it on a plate. Then, thoughtfully, she placed a fork next to it.
After that she picked up the rest of the cake from the silver tray with both hands like a squirrel and ate it.
(This is one of Anna's comical stories. Recently she has been coming up with a lot of similar ideas. If you like this whimsical lady, let me inform you that she is also featured in other posts under the label 'The Lady in White'.)
