The Melting Butter
One winter evening a country shopkeeper was about to close up for the night when he saw a man was stealing a pound of fresh butter from the shelf." I say, Sam" said the shopkeeper coming up to the man who put the piece of butter in his hat. "I say,Sam, sit down. Lets have a cup of tea. Its good on such a cold frosty night". Sam couldn't refuse. For some time he forgot about the butter he had hidden under his hat. But after the first cup of tea Sam felt the butter (melt) and he jumped up saying he must go. The shopkeeper reminded him that he had not eaten a piece of strawberry pie yet and made him to sit down again. The butter started pouring down Sams face and neck into his clothes. The shopkeeper laughed at the trick he had played.
