I have named them 'Hotel Trees,' because they bear a certain kind of table d'hote fruit called 'Three-Course Nuts.'" "That's funny!" said Betsy.

"What are the 'Three-Course Nuts' like ?" "Something like cocoanuts, to look at," explained the Ugly One.

"All you have to do is to pick one of them and then sit down and eat your dinner.

You first unscrew the top part and find a cupfull of good soup.
After you've eaten that, you unscrew the middle part and find a hollow filled with meat and potatoes, vegetables and a fine salad.

Eat that, and unscrew the next section, and you come to the dessert in the bottom of the nut.
