Uncle Podger was always ready to take on a responsibility. Once a picture had come from the french- maker's, Uncle Podger asked Aunt Podger to leave the job of hanging the picture to him. He took off his coat and he asked children to fetch him hammer , nails etc. Everyone was busy obeying his instructions. And when the picture was about to be hanged , he dropped the picture and cut himself with a broken glass. He moved around the room , looking for his handkerchief and later found it in his coat pocket and his coat was underneath himself. He moved a mess of things . It was only after a minor incidents and injuries Uncle Podger managed to get that picture on the wall , crooker and insecure , around midnight. He took a long time to hang it and created a mayhem in the house. Finally , he declared that some people would have had man to do a little thing like that.
