I The Game of Nuts
Tull. Let us play at nuts, at throwing them in holes.
Lent. I have only a few nuts and those squashed and smelly.
Sci. Well then, we will play with the shells of nuts.
Tull. But what good would they be to me even if I were to win twenty? There would be no kernels in the nuts for me to eat.
Sci. Why, I don’t eat when I am playing. If I want to eat, I go to the mater. Nut-shells are good for making little houses to put ants into.
