When I was a wee little hamster me Mummy used to call me, ‘Hammy.’ I’d say ‘Mummy?’ She’d say, ‘Hammy?’ Mummy? Hammy? Mummy? Hammy? Anyway, let’s talk about ‘paltry.’ It’s an adjective, that is, it describes a noun. When Jack’s mom said, ‘paltry beans’, she meant those beans were wooorthlesssss. They had no value. No one would even pay a penny for them. They were useless, they were anything but magic beans which is why she tossed them out the window. Boy, was she wrrrrong!
