Packing by jerome k. jerome holiday time was near now, and we, that is, harris and george and i met to discuss our plans. harris said that the first thing was to discuss what to take with us. he also said that we couldn't take the whole world in a boat. they could take what they really needed. "it is very important," harris said, "to have everything we need for a long swim every morning before breakfast." he also said that a long swim always gave him fine appetite. "if you're going to eat more than you usually do," george said, "i think we'll let you go swimming not more than once in three or four days. if you go swimming every day, we'll never have enough food for you. we won't be able to carry so much in the boat. " so we discussed the food question. "begin with breakfast," george said. "for breakfast we must have a tea-pot," harris said, "ham, eggs, bread and butter and jam. it's easy to prepare breakfast with such things. and for lunch — cold meat, bread and butter and jam — but no cheese.

Далее Джордж предлагает начать с завтрака. Гаррис соглашается и говорит, что для завтрака им нужно будет чайник, ветчину, яйца, хлеб с маслом и вареньем. С такими продуктами завтрак будет легко приготовить. А на обед - холодное мясо, хлеб с маслом и вареньем, но не сыр. Они соглашаются. Сыр на лодке летом постепенно становится "хозяином" всей еды. Ты можешь подумать, что ешь колбасу или мясо с картошкой или торт, но все это кажется сыром.
