Eating at the Garage Sale

My husband and I were at home, and my sister was over. I saw that my husband had made a pie, and I was very impressed. Then I noticed that there was only one piece of the pie left, so I asked my husband if he ate it all, and he said yes. Then we drove off and went to this garage sale. When we were parking on the side of the road, I kept seeing people that I knew. We went inside, and my husband disappeared up the stairs. I could hear him talking to some other guy. I sat down and pulled out some food and ate. Some other lady sat down and ate too. I was hoping the lady who owned the house wouldn't mind, and she didn't say anything.

When I finished up, my husband came back, and we sat down and started watching a movie on the tv. When the movie finished up, I looked around and realized that they had three rows of theater seats in their living room, and they had all filled up with people.

I saw a big fish tank on the other side of the room, and went to look. My friend Nora was over there. I put a glass under the water dispenser to get a drink. After I filled it up, I looked, and the glass was full of algae. I said, "Nora! What'd you do? Fill this thing with tank water?" I looked back at the glass and realized it had several fish and a crab in it, and wasn't really a glass. Nora decided to change the water for them, and she dumped out the water, and started ladeling out of the main fish tank. Her landlord was pounding on the back door, so she yelled at him to come in. She was having a hard time getting water out, because there were so many vegetables in the water, and her ladle kept getting filled with onions! The fish were flopping aroud without water, so I went to help her, and drew the water out of the other side of the tank. I asked whether the vegetables were really good for the fish. I was skeptical. She said, "Do you think they'd like a strawberry?"
