When Larry Made Lasagna
When Larry made lasagna all his neighbors stopped and stared. His lasagna was the largest that had ever been prepared. He used ninety yards of pasta and a half a ton of cheese, and the sauce, he spread with spatulas that looked a lot like skis. With a hundred pounds of vegetables and wagon-loads of meat plus a tiny sprig of parsley his lasagna was complete. So he lifted that lasagna with a forklift and a crane and he placed it in an oven that was longer than a train. For a week, while it was baking, its aroma filled the town, till he took it from the oven piping hot and golden brown. All the neighbors came and tasted it but frowned at him, and then they complained, "It needs a bit more salt. You'll have to start again."
