The Plummers arrived on time at eight o'clock. "Let's have a drink!" said Mr. Smith. They all went into the dining room. Then they saw the table and they were horrified. The main platewas empty. The salmon had gone!

Mrs. Smith burst into tears. "Don't worry, love! We can still have fish!" and Mr. Smith rushed out of the house.
