10. Food
"Why can't we have mince pies all year round, Mrs Patmore?"
"It'll take the fun of it! It has to be special."
"Besides," Aunt Daisy added, "you have food that's a lot like it all the time."
"No I don't."
"Yes, you do. Do you know what's inside a mince pie?"
William thinks hard. He's usually too excited about eating them to think about it. "No…" he says slowly.
"More or less the same that's inside a fruit pie."
He has to think about it. "You're lying. There are raisings in a fruit pie."
"And so there are in a mince pie."
"What?" He is horror-struck. This can't be. "You're joking!" Raisins. The most terribly horrible thing there is? Inside a mince pie?
"Well," Mrs Patmore laughs, "you'll have to wait 'till next Christmas to see we're not."
