Explanation:

Gretel was a cook with the habit of always tasting the meal she is cooking. She always says  "A good cook must know how her cooking tastes!". One day her master asked her to roast two fat chickens which she did, by the time the chicken was almost cooked the guest had not arrived so the master went in search of the guest.

When the master left, she began to eat the chicken. Just as she was finishing off a leg, her master burst into the kitchen. "Quick, Gretel, our guest will be here any moment. Prepare the feast!". when the guest arrived and knocked, she went to the door and told him to go saying to the guest that the master wanted to cut off his ears and eat them. Gretel than ran to her master and told him that the guest had ran with the roasted chickens, so the master went to the door and screamed to his guest to his guest. "Just leave me one!" He waved his big knife in the air. "Leave one for me to eat!".

When the guest heard the masters words, he ran faster. Gretel smiled and said "Never mind, master I'll fix you a nice big sandwich!"

Her master smiled at her saying "You're a clever girl, Gretel, You always make the best of things."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
