THE STORY OF THE TEACUP
There was a couple who used to go to England to shop in the beautiful stores. They both liked antiques and pottery, especially teacups.

''Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I didn't understand why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head, 'Not yet.'
''Finally the door opened. He put me on the shelf and I began to cool. 'There, that's better,' I said. But then he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. 'Stop it, stop it!' I cried. 'Not yet.'

All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head saying, 'Not yet.' Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up.
