                                  Some Sausage Sandwiches

   One morning last summer Mrs Andrews made 2 some sausage sandwiches for her husband's lunch. There was 3 one sausage left over. Mrs Andrews didn't care 4 for sausages herself 5 and so she gave 6 the last one to Henry, their little dog. Henry ate 7 it up quickly. 

    During 8 the morning the dog got 9 ill. He wouldn't stop shaking 10 his head and he couldn't stand up properly 11. Mrs Andrews thought 12, "He has eaten something that didn't agree 13 with him. Maybe that sausage was bad. . . " She suddenly 14 remembered her huusband's lunch. She ran 15 to the telephone and called Jim at the office. 

    "Jim, I hope 16 you haven't eaten any of those sandwiches yet 17. "

    "Yes, I have. . . "

    "You have? Well, listen- don't eat any more. I gave Henry the last sausage and now he's ill. Go to the doctor, Jim. Tell the doctor about the dog. Get some medicine 18 at once. "

    Jim came 19 home at lunchtime 20 and went to bed. "I had 21 a very unpleasant 22 hour with the doctor," he told his wife 23. "The medicine made me very sick." The next morning Jim was fine. Henry seemed 24 quite well again too. At eleven o'clock the milkman came with the milk. 

    "Good morning, Mrs Andrews," The milkman said 25. "How's your dog this morning? I have been thinking 26 about him. . . "

    "Have you?' Well, he seems 27 all right now, but. . . "

    "Yesterday morning he and I had a little accident 28. He jumped up at me and I dropped a bottle of milk on his head. "

And when they get more food, the have more babies, so they never stop being 52 hungry. Somewhere 53 in the world, a woman is having a baby every minute, day and night. What are we going 54 to do about it?" He waited for a few 55 seconds before he continued 56, but before he began to speak again, one of the ladies said, "Well, why don't we find that woman and stop her?"
