“Guard it with your life,” he said, ”I’m going to be away for a couple of days and I daren’t leave it unattended at home”.
“But it’s just a jar of strawberry jam”, I said, “why would anyone want to knick it?”
“Ah, but it’s not any old jam it’s special jam, now do as I say and don’t let it out of your sight”, and with that, he slipped out of the door and disappeared into the darkness of the frosty winter’s night.
I was curious and thought I’d sneakily try a little bit, so I toasted a slice of bread, liberally buttered it and plopped a spoon of special jam on top and when I took a bite I nearly broke a tooth before swallowing what I thought must have been a very underripe strawberry!
A couple of days later he returned, and after he sidled through my back door I asked him to please explain what was special about that jam, and he said, in hushed tones, that a priceless diamond was concealed within it.
That explained what had happened, and I felt obliged to tell him what I’d done, promising to keep an eye out for it when visiting the you-now-where for a you-know-what!
