Nail pie

One day a girl called Suzie was travelling towards a castle carrying a suit case and bundle of sticks as well as a pie dish. She sat down in front of two guards. Suzie opened the suit case and placed it on the draw bridge. She put a handful of rusty nails needles into the dish, and poured in some sand. She started to stir it.

A guard asked her what she was doing.

“Making a nail pie”, answered Suzie. The guard gave her a puzzled look, but by that time the servants were watching and they asked if it was ready. Suzie said, “not yet, but it could do with some juicy plums.”

“I’ll go and get some.” The plums were added.

She stirred it for a while and then said, “It needs some apples.” So another servant went to fetch some apples. The pie was put into the heat of his fire.

“Is it ready yet?” asked the guards, as they were both very hungry.

“Yes” said Suzie triumphantly .She dished it up, everyone loved it. The talk about the pie was all over town.
