Mopsy And The New Mop

     Mopsy mopped the floor.
     Mummy, I don't like doing this.  Could you do this please?  she asked coyly.
     Darling, if you do it with vigour, it will be fine, answered her mother sharply.
     Like this?  asked Mopsy.
     That's right, said Mother.
     Like a race?  asked Mopsy.
     Yes.  Not flatly, but with gusto, said her mother sonorously.
     Okay, Mummy.
     Mopsy mopped the floor, not flatly, but with gusto.  Then the mop broke.
     Not with that much gusto, dear, said her mother.
     Well, I mopped it with gusto, said Mopsy.
     Mopsy did very well, don't you think?  Yes, I think she did.
