Newlyweds’ First Meal
The newly-married husband came home from the office to find his young wife in floods of tears. “Whatever could have happened?” he thinks, “Who died?”
“Darling, whatever is the matter?” he asks.

“Don’t worry, Darling,” said her husband, consoling her. “Don’t cry. I’ll get you a new cat in the morning . . . .”
