“What did ee eat for breakfast?”
“Fish as I catched at sunrise.”
“An’ what’ll ee have for supper?”
“Fish again.”
“Seems a lot o’ fish in one day,” Tommy stated.
“Why, yes; of course. ’Twouldn’t be so cheap to live else, Tommy. Don’t ee know thicky tiddley verse:
Fish for breakfast that we ’ad,
An’ for dinner ’ad a chad,
An’ for tea we ’ad some ray,
So we ’ad fish three times that day!”
