Ma and Pa always made a nice ritual out of dinner - Ma brought
out her freshly baked loaves of home-made bread, and Pa would
carefully carve them into regular, even slices. Every night,
the family would sit around the table nodding with approval as
Pa displayed his skill with the knife, barely leaving a crumb
as he divided up the loaves. As the years went by, the kids
would all chip in and buy Pa a new knife every few Christmases.
Each time, they got him a larger, sharper, better knife. Pa
could put a couple of loaves side-by-side and with one pass of
his knife, create several even slices of Ma's bread. Finally,
one Christmas, the kids really outdid themselves. They got Pa
such a fine knife that tears sprang to his eyes as he opened
the package. Holding it aloft, he reverently exclaimed,
"I never thought that I'd own a four-loaf cleaver!"
