'A Squash and a Squeeze' is a story of an old lady who goes to appreciate the size of her house. She enlists the help of a wise old man, who tells her to take in a succession of animals so that it really is a squash in her house. She finally returns to the old man and he tells her to let all the animals out of her house. She does, she is surprised at how spacious her house now feels... it is no longer a Squash and a Squeeze. To appreciate is to contempt with what you have.
