It's a rhyming fable that tells of a little old lady who thinks her home is too small. A wise man tells her to take in a succession of animals so that it really is a squash in the house. When she follows his advice to take them out, she finds the house is enormous. An important lesson in appreciating what you have.
"Wise old man, won’t you help me, please?
My house is a squash and a squeeze.”
Well, the updated version which we have lived through at home involves a gigantic treadmill that was bought with very good intentions. It became part of the furniture (including being decorated with lights at Christmas!) but was finally sold on e-bay a couple of weeks ago. Hurrah!
Our home really does feel enormous now. I might even tap out a jig like the cow in the story to celebrate...
