Fred is a man who loves making sandwiches, especially funny ones with strange ingredients. One day, he decides to make a special sandwich for his friend, Tom. He goes to the kitchen, opens the fridge, and takes out bread, cheese, and ham. Then, he adds some unusual ingredients—strawberries, chocolate, and pickles—thinking it will be very funny.
Fred calls Tom and says, "Come to my house. I have a surprise for you!" When Tom arrives, he sees the strange sandwich and laughs. "What is this, Fred?" he asks. Fred smiles and says, "It's my funny sandwich. Try it!" Tom takes a bite and is surprised. "This is not bad," he says. "It's sweet and salty. I like it!"
| Fred: | Hi Tom, come in! |
| Tom: | Hi Fred! What's the surprise? |
| Fred: | Look at this sandwich! |
| Tom: | Wow, it looks funny. What's inside? |
| Fred: | Bread, cheese, ham, and some special things. |
| Tom: | Let me try it. Hmm, it's sweet and salty. I like it! |
