SQUARE FOOTAGE

"I think we will-a have to come back to look at the-a inside after you buy-a the house," said Pinocchio. "Then you can-a see how much-a space you got. You don't want to plan-a too much."

"Gawrsh, OK, said the U.B. "But can you tell me how much square footage there is?"

Pinocchio looked at his own feet in hopes of finding an answer there. "Do you mean-a square feet like-a mine or more like your size?"

"I wear a size 15 EEE," said the U.B. "What does that translate to?"

Pinocchio kept looking at his feet for another answer, when something unexpected happened.
