A 6 chapter story of Imapig2's Pet Slug

CHAPTER 1    ( Ima's Pet Slug )

For many month's Imapig2's pet slug named ...Slugger ~ of course , had been through Vigerous Training . He could....Stay !.....Bow.....Play Dead...Rear up & numerous other tricks too .

Ima's friends.....particulary...Moonpig said that he thought it was a ...waste of time teaching him to do things like THAT ! ... & that he'd look better on a dinner-plate .

" No , you can't do That ! " an astonished Imapig2 said , " he's my ' Friend ,' as well as my pet . I could never EAT him .replied Imapig2 

" Well if you ask me . he'd looks like a ... date . &  I like dates " ( slurp ! ) went Moonpig.

" Take your eyes off him " Imapig2 quickly answered Moonpig , snatching  Slugger up into her trotters & gently lowering him back into his tank , patting his back . "There , there  , Slugger , I'll keep you safe in your tank . I'll put a lock on it & hide the key in a safe place "

" Take your eyes off him"

APigCanFly had been listening in & told Moonpig not to tease Ima so much & if she wanted a pet slug , that was fine as long as Mommy Dear didn't have to have it in the house ." I know , " APigCanFly consoled Imapig2 , " Lets keep him safe in the Club-House" 

" O.K. " agreed Imapig2 & both carried the tank with Slugger in , into the Club-House & rested it on top of the bookcase ( plonk ! )

Moonpig , who had followed behind them , 'winked' his eye & said " Better not let too much sunlight into the tank , otherwise Slugger will get cooked !.... Or maybe that's a good idea . "

ApigCanFly saw tears welling up in Imapig2's eyes & comforted Imapig2 with the words " Don't worry , this side of the Club-House is sheltered from the midday sun ,there'll be NO problems of THAT ! kind ." & with that they settled down to watch Slugger eat his lettuce...his carrot...& his radish that had been put in for him.

" Wow ! he's got a big appitite ! " exclaimed Ima .

yum yum

" Should grow BIG & JUICY then, just the way I like 'em " joked Moonpig .

" Waa ! " Imapig2 let out a wail.

APigCanFly threw an apple out of the fruit bowl at Moonpig saying " You'll have me to deal with if Anything happens to Slugger...really , how could you be so thoughtless ? "

" Practise , just practice . " Moonpig replied,running off quickly before APigCanFly grabbed something else to throw .

" Now...now..." APigCanFly comforted Imapig2 , as she handed a tissue from the box on the coffee table , " I'm sure Moonpig didn't mean it ."

Parp !  Imapig2 blew her snout , then seeing that Slugger looked contented eating his food ,said " My Mommy as been making cup-cakes this morning , would you like one ? " & led the way to the delicious aroma ,leaving Slugger munching away in his tank.
