Once upon a time there was a woman and she baked five pies. But when they came out of the oven they were over-baked, and the crust was far too hard to eat. So she said to her daughter: ‘Daughter, ‘ says she, ‘put them pies on to the shelf and leave ’em there awhile. Surely they’ll come again in time.’
