An Old Wooden Spoon


Last week, I went down to Hungary to visit old Edith Neni. And, when I got there, Old Edith Neni was chopping up onions. And, in her mouth was a very old long wooden spoon. And, it was there for a very good reason. Tears. Not tears of sorrow, nor tears of great joy, but, instead, for cutting up onion tears.

Every time, Old Edith Neni chops up an onion, she puts her very old long wooden spoon in her mouth. This makes sure that cutting up onions is no crying matter. And, it works every time. With an old wooden spoon in your mouth you will not shed a tear whilst cutting your onions. In fact, cutting up onions will be just like chopping up apples and pears. Dry eyes and smiles.

And, there is good news as well. This works with all wooden spoons. Old ones, new ones, long ones, and short ones as well. So, next time you want to cook a good Gulasch or make a good stew, put your old wooden spoon in your mouth. You will be surprised. The only tears there will be will be tears of great joy from your friends enjoying your cooking.

So, if you have no wooden spoon, go out and buy one. And you, just like Old Edith Neni, will enjoy cutting and chopping up onions.

Last week, I went down to Hungary and made a discovery. Old wooden spoons and all other wooden spoons, too, stop you from crying whilst cutting your onions.
