They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. The

response to this competition was tremendous. Before long, biscuits of all

with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of his car. All the biscuits that

certain that this would win the prize. But just before the competition closed, a
