Question

Write a short note on uncle Podger's disastrous attempt to hang a picture.

Answer 1

Uncle Podger decided to hang a picture. He sent the girl out to bring nails and sent Tom after her to tell her the size of the nails. He told someone to give him the hammer and the other to give him the rule. He asked his wife to hold up the light. Then he lifted the picture and dropped it. Its glass was broken and cut his finger. He wanted to tie his handkerchief on his finger. But it was in the coat and the coat was not found. In the end, it was revealed that he was sitting on the coat.

After tying the handkerchief on his finger, he tried again. Now the nail was dropped. The whole family bent down on their knees to search for it. When the nail was found, the hammer was lost. When the hammer was found then the mark on the wall was lost. Uncle Podger had to make another mark. Now he made another try. He hit the nail with the hammer but smashed his thumb. He tried again. But now he hit with such a force that the whole nail went into the wall. A new hole was made. By about midnight, he succeeded in hanging the picture. Everybody was completely tired. The picture was hanging crooked and insecure. But Uncle Podger looked at the job with pride and satisfaction.
