DON’T SPOIL

YOUR APPETITE!

A few minutes later, Uncle Samuel S.

Stingysnout called everyone into the dining

room. He held up his paw for silence. Then

he made a speech. “Dear beloved relatives,

the wedding ceremony will take place just

three days from now. Tonight we will have

what I like to call a light dinner. This way

you will not spoil your appetite for the grand

wedding CELEBRATION!”

We were all starving. We hadn’t eaten a

regular meal since we left home.

“It’s about time we nibbled some cheese!”

Trap grumbled, knotting his napkin

around his neck.
