#h(1em)“First, the fish must be caught.' \
That is easy: a baby, I think, could have caught it. \
#h(1em)Next, the fish must be bought.' \
That is easy: a penny, I think, would have bought it.

#h(1em)Now cook me the fish!' \
That is easy, and will not take more than a minute. \
#h(1em)Let it lie in a dish!' \
That is easy, because it already is in it.

#block[
#h(1em)Bring it here! Let me sup!' \
It is easy to set such a dish on the table. \
#h(1em)Take the dish-cover up!' \

#block[
#h(1em)For it holds it like glue--- \
Holds the lid to the dish, while it lies in the middle: \
