A Melting Story by O.Henry

one winter evening

one winter night

one winter morning

in the country shop

in the town shop

outside the shop

inside the shop

a pound of butter

a pound of meat

a bottle of oil

The man refused to sit down

The shopkeeper made the man sit in the warm place

The butter didn't melt because it was cold.

The man could feel the butter melting

His cows were hungry

He had some melting butter in his hat

His wife was angry

It was a cold night

He was sitting near the stove.

He had his hand on the door

The butter was pouring down his face and neck

He was afraid the butter would melt.

The butter didn't melt as it was of poor quality

The shopkeeper was about to open his shop

The shopkeeper didn't charge the man for that pound of butter

The shopkeeper didn't have fun

to have fun

to punish the thief

to get warmer

to take off Seth's hat

coal

sticks

butter

cows

Butter melts

You shouldn't steal from shops

Butter is bad for your health

Don't sit near the stove if you've got some butter in your hat

Punishing is fun
