Hamster: an animal like a large mouse, kept
as a pet. Hamsters have large cheeks for storing food.
An
old lady had bought a new carpet and the carpet fitter was fitting it for her.
Once he had fitted it
he
went outside for a smoke, but he couldn't find his packet of cigarettes.
He
looked in all his pockets and in his van, but he just couldn't find them. So,
he went back into
the
room where he had fitted the carpet to see if he had dropped the packet in
there.
As
he entered the room he noticed a small lump under the carpet in the middle of
the room.
He
decided to flatten the lump rather than undo all his work, so he took a hammer
and banged
the
lump until it was flat.
As
he was putting his tools away the old lady walked into the room. She was
holding a packet
of
cigarettes. She said, "I found these in the hallway. You must have dropped
them."
"Now,
I just need to find my hamster."
