The little daughter answered a telephone call while her parents were out.

The man calling identified himself as Mr. Hendrick.

She asked if he would please spell the name slowly.

He said: "H as in horse, E as in egg, N as in nose, D as in doggie, R as in rabbit, I as in Indian, C as in cat, K as in kite."

When her father returned, the message on the desk read: "Daddy, please call Mr. Horseeggnosedoggierabbitindiancatkite."
