Answers<br />
‘You’re not important!’ laughed the teacup to the saucer. ‘I’m the one who holds the drink<br />
that quenches the thirst!’<br />
‘Maybe,’ argued the saucer, ‘but I protect the table from marks <strong>and</strong> spills. That makes<br />
me very important!’<br />
‘I’m such a beautiful shape’, continued the cup proudly, ‘for h<strong>and</strong>s to warm themselves<br />
on a cold, winter night’.<br />
‘Maybe,’ answered the saucer wearily, ‘but who do the h<strong>and</strong>s hold when you are too hot?’<br />
‘I hold the drink!’ stated the cup firmly. ‘Without me, there is no need for you!’<br />
‘Maybe,’ agreed the saucer with a smile, ‘but I hold you <strong>and</strong> the<br />
spoon <strong>and</strong> the biscuit. Is there really no need for me?’<br />
