“I want to be the chef,” Cow said.
“No, I should be the chef,” Duck said.
“I should be, not you,” Cow said.
“No, I should be,” Duck said.
Feeling strange about their argument, I decided to ask, “You want to be a chef, so you will cook, won't you?”
“No,” Cow and Duck said at the same time, “I want to be the chef, but you are the cook.”
I opened my eyes, “Why me? Two of you want to be the chef. Why don't you cook?”
“I just want to be the chef, but I don't want to cook. You have to cook.”
After hearing two of them say that, I shook my head, “Who wants to be the chef is the cook. If the chef doesn't cook, let's go home.”
No one said anything. Then the picnic was canceled.
