"And it wasn't so bad to have salad for lunch, was it?" asked Mum.
Kitty looked at her and went red. It was no good. She couldn't tell lies - that would be terrible. So she told Mum what had happened.
"Aha-he did, did he?" said Mum, folding her arms, a little smile showing at the corner of her mouth. She marched into the sitting room.
"Well, was it good, having a salad of fish and chips?" she asked standing in between Dad and the TV.
Dad looked really guilty. He looked at Kitty, and she could almost hear him thinking, "But you promised you wouldn't tell."
"Don't be angry with me, Dad," she said.
At that, a big smile broke across Mum's face. "Look at you all!" she said. "Like frightened rabbits! You have been eating too many greens. Well, I went to the market to get a special treat for tonight's supper, and I met Bill - which was a lovely surprise. And he told me about your lunch."
"And you don't mind?" asked Dad.
"Of course not. I'm not a witch, you know! Didn't I say I'm making something you like for supper?"
"What is it, Mum?" asked Kitty.
"Fish and chips!" said Mum.
"Oh, no!" they all groaned. And then they started to laugh.
