Daniel got a kitchen chair and climbed on it so that he
could reach the high shelf where Susie kept the matches.
“What are you up to?” asked Susie.
“I’m getting the matches” explained Daniel.
“Oh no you’re not!” protested Susie. “ You mustn’t touch
the matches. They could burn you. I’ll get them down,
but not today. I’ll get them down tomorrow on the twins’
birthday, then I will carefully light the candles for kit and
Lydia to blow out”.
