Toffee's Shed Ordeal

The old man and the old woman have been out in the garden. They are tilling so many vegetable seeds you might suspect there is a famine just around the corner. I haven't seen the catnip going in yet but no doubt it's an oversight which will be remedied shortly.

I curled up on a bag of compost, peering out of the shed door to keep an eye on them. They always need me to supervise. The next thing I knew, that shed door banged shut and I was TRAPPED.

I must have been there for HOURS AND HOURS, although I later heard the old woman say: "I don't know why she's making so much fuss, she was only in there 10 minutes." I think it was a slip of the tongue and she meant 10 hours or possibly 10 days.

Anyway, I yowled and scratched and then jumped up on the bench and pressed my face to the window to see if I could attract anyone's attention.

When they FINALLY let me out, I stalked off. 

I marched off to the guest bedroom where I stayed for the rest of the day, punishing them by withdrawing my company. I saw later that they had tried to drown their sorrows about my absence by drinking lots of red wine and beer.

They are obviously contrite so I have forgiven them but they should know they are ON A WARNING.

Look at this: 

Such a naughty book from the irrepressible Toffee!
