We also loved a certain story papa used to tell us. It was called 'the Seven Cucumbers' … 'A little boy went into a garden. He saw a cucumber. A cucumber as big as this . He picked it, hup!, and ate it. The little boy continued on his way and saw a second cucumber, a cucumber as big as this. Hup! He ate it. He went on, he saw a third cucumber, a cucumber as big as this , and hup ! He ate it. … And so it went on until the seventh cucumber, with papa's voice getting louder and louder, deeper and deeper … When papa showed how the little boy ate the seventh cucumber his mouth with its missing teeth opened so wide it was frightening to see.
