 Last week, Joan tasted on instruments. They had a pile of pictures in front of
them. Sometime Joan held up the picture and asked Jane to name it. Sometimes
Joan said the name of an instrument and Jane had to find the correct picture.
This was the first picture
 And Jane said, “Easy, they’re scissors”.
 “But what shape are they ?” asked Joan.
 “Well, they’re straight.” “Now look at the blades.” “They’re sharp-ended.”
Answered Jane.
 “Good,” said Joan,
 “they’re straight, sharp-ended scissors. What about these, then?”. And Joan
helps up this picture:
 Jane . “Those, my dear Joan, are a pair of straight, sharp -and bluntended
scissors.”
