Lay slices of cucumber on three slices of the buttered bread and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a small amount of white pepper. Put the other pieces of bread on top of the cucumber. Ask the adult to help you cut the sand- wiches into quarters. You can leave the crusts on or cut them off. Now get ready to serve.
