1. Who ate all the pies?

It’s Friday evening, and Holly has just come home from work. She and her husband, Chris, are in the kitchen.

Chris: Hi, love! You’re a bit late. The traffic was probably awful, was it?

Holly: It wasn’t great. I did a little bit of shopping after work, and it took longer than I thought. The town was packed. It’s just

bonkers at this time of year. Chris: I know. Anyway, dinner’s nearly ready.

Holly: It smells delicious. What are

we having? Chris: Chicken curry. We’re just

waiting for the rice.

Holly: Yum! And we can have mince

pies for dessert.

Chris: Um, I have a confession to make. I’m afraid there aren’t any mince pies left.

Holly: What? Who ate them? You

can’t have eaten all of them! Chris: Well, the kids helped, and George from across the road

popped in. He had one or two.
