Willie left home with a bunch of flowers for Suzabelle. Halfway to her house, he sneezed very hard and knocked the petals off 2/3 of them. He threw away the petal-less ones and hastily went home and added 4 more to the remaining bunch. Opening the gate to her front yard he dropped 4/5 of the flowers he was carrying into a mud puddle.
