Donald: Oh, yes, so it does. Hold on a moment. I must get a newspaper. There’s a newsagent next door.

　　Walter: What do you want a newspaper for?

　　Donald: To find out what’s been happening, of course.

　　Walter: I don’t need a newspaper to find out what’s been happening. We must have been walking for at least six hours. My feet have been hurting for about four hours and I’ve been starving since we shared that tin of cold beans.

　　Donald: You don’t mean you’re hungry again? I see what you mean. That tea shop does look interesting. We could plan tomorrow’s walk while we were having tea, couldn’t we?

　　Walter and Donald have just finished their Devon Cream Tea, but they don’t seem to want to leave.

　　Waitress: I really don’t know what to do, Mrs. Adams. The two gentlemen at table four have had complete Devon cream teas, with additional sandwiches and cakes, and another order of scones. They don’t seem to want to leave and it’s a quarter past five and I should be going off...

　　Mrs. Adams: Never mind, Mary. You go. Poor lads. They must have been walking all day by the look of them. They must have been starving.

　　Walter: I feel a hundred per cent better. How about you Donald?

　　Donald: I must admit that a Devon cream tea is better than a tin of cold beans. In fact, it’s better than almost anything I can think of ... except a good newspaper. Do you ever buy a newspaper?
