Candice and Jeanie were walking home from school. As they talked and laughed, they came upon a huge cabbage field. “Look, those cabbages are huge,” said Jeanie. Candice was in the mood for some fun. So she said, “Oh, that’s nothing. I once saw a cabbage bigger than this. It was very big,” she said, and she stretched out her hands as wide apart as they would get. Jeanie understood that Candice was pulling her leg. So she decided to play along and said, “It was certainly huge. How much water did it need?” Candice said, “Truckloads!” Jeanie said, “Do you remember I once bought a pot that was bigger than my house?” Candice said, “Who ever heard of a pot bigger than a house? What did you buy that for.” “Why, to cook that huge cabbage you just told me about!” Jeanie replied. Candice and Jeanie had a hearty laugh.
