  "Hey, Beatrix doesn't want to listen to all that bland stuff. You can go. I will read her bedtime stories."

  "But…" Peter was unwilling and unhappy.

  "You want me to cook you for dinner?" she threatened.

  "My meat is not tasty. Don't eat me." he feigned being scared for some seconds before dropping the act.
