DAniel and MEgan weRe working in different places in the house that morning. Daniel was in his shed where his whittling knife had just fallen on the floor out of reach. He was furious. Eventually he retrieved his knife and proceeded to strip the bark off some willow stalks. Once he had pared each one he went back into the house, still fuming at the waste of time. He was just in time to observe Megan as she raged up and down. "Whatever is the matter?", said Daniel. "I was just hanging this last drape when it slipped out of my hands and landed in the whipped cream I'd put out for lunch. So now the drape will take up more than its fair share of the next wash and we have little cream for our lunch.", replied Megan. "Look, I'm not in a good mood either", admitted Daniel, "let's leave our woes behind and visit the arena to watch the athletes and see if that will help us to erase the traumas of the morning." On the way they bought a box of grapes to graze on. So they ate them, one grape at a time, as they watched the athletes. They went wild with excitement as two local athletes won a brace of medals in the last race of the day.
