The Ice Cream Lesson

Vigus and I were childhood buddies who ventured to make some ice cream It was to be our special creation that would be a dish most supreme We got some sand from the sand heap and sifted it with a fine mesh wire to give the dish a fine consistency so its quality would be superior We crumbled up some dried dirt and pounded it with a hammer then sifted it with the wire mesh and made chocolate talcum powder We mixed these ingredients in a tin using a piece of stick as a stirrer and blended them for quite a while until there was a uniform texture Vigus continued the stirring while I added the water until the mix was nice and firm and chocolate brown in colour Now who would taste it first we both said to each other After thinking for a while I said I believe I have the answer I said let's ask Greedy Mackie who was quite a beggar always sponging off our snacks in a very shameless manner We asked Mackie to join us and I got a piece of candy Vigus stirred it in the mix in the full view of Mackie While Vigus stirred in the candy We raved how sweet the dish would be Then we asked who would taste it first saying that person would be lucky I suppose Mackie's thoughts could only focus on the candy When we asked the question he raised his hand and cried "ME" We gave him a spoonful of the dish which he put it in his mouth greedily Vigus and I watched most intensely to see what his reaction would be Mackie bolted for the water tap spitting most profusely I guess he learned a lesson that day that he should not be so greedy Vigus, Mackie and I were about 7 years old
