The Bathtub

Bill Taft loved to eat. At breakfast, he ate three bowls of oatmeal. At lunch, he ate four peanut butter sandwiches. He ate six apples for snack, and nine cookies. Dinner was the biggest meal of all. Then, Bill ate five pork chops, ten baked potatoes, and a whole apple pie!
Bill Taft became president. He was happy, but he had a problem. He was too fat to fit into the bathtub in the White House. “How will I take a bath?” he asked.
“Maybe you should not eat so much,” his wife said.
“But I love to eat!” he cried. “And I have to be clean.”
His staff thought and thought. Finally, they said, “We will have to build a special bathtub for you.”
They built the biggest bathtub in the world. Four men could fit into it at once—four small men, of course. When Bill got into the tub, he smiled. “Perfect!” he said.
