This happened when Lily was twelve and her brother Tim eight. Lily had a little dog Rover. 
One day Lily made two beautiful, small cakes. 
"We are going to eat ('ll eat) them this afternoon," she said to Tim. "You 'll have (are going to have) one, and I 'll eat (am going to eat) the other one." 
Their parents were not at home that afternoon, and at four o'clock Lily made some tea and put the cakes on the table. 
"Where is Rover?" she asked. 
"It's lying under the table," Tim answered. 
When they were eating, Lily shouted, "Tim, quick, I 've dropped my cake under the table and there is Rover!" 
"All right, Lily," Tim answered. "I 've put my foot on the cake."
