" Lets go for a walk ! " said Imapig2 to her two bestest friends one summer afternoon "
" Where shall we go ? " enquired APigCanFly, " perhaps to the shops " she added with delight, for she loved looking at all the 'nice' things in the windows
Let's go shopping
" Or we could go to the 'Pub' for a spot of late lunch " put in Moonpig ( he loved his belly & was quite fond of a lager or two )
" No- it's too nice to spoil the rest of the day around concrete buildings or in a
pub looking at the four walls " explained Imapig2 " Let's go for a walk along the lane & stop in 'our meadow' watching the birds & butterflies & bees & beetles &.... ( she could ramble on for hours as she loved nature )....grubs &..."
A butterfliy
" Excuse me ! " said a rather indignant Moonpig , " but the pub has a rather nice 'beer garden' ( hoping this would change Imapig2's mind ) & we could sit in the garden watching 'those' kind of things drinking a cool beer....I mean refreshing fruit drink & perhaps an Ice Cream" ( trying to tempt Imapig2 )
" Just a minute ! there are some 'pretty benches' to sit on where the shops are " sighed APigCanFly ( she loved a bit of ....'retail therapy' ) APigCanFly picked up three straws & continued " Who ever draws the smallest straw,gets to choose where to go, that's fair isn't it ? "
" O.K. " replied Imapig2
 |
| Anyone for a beer ? |
" S'pose so " grimaced Moonpig
So APigCanFly held out the three straws, hiding their length ...Moonpig pulled the first straw ( hiding it's length behind his back ), while Imapig2 took the next & did the same as Moonpig
" O.K. let's see who's got the smallest straw ? " said APigCanFly holding the remaining straw out.....
" I Win..I Win ! " sang Imapig2 " look mines the smallest....see ? "
" O.K. O.K . don't get your knickers in a twist ! ( Moonpig was speaking metaphorically of course as pigs don't wear clothes : rule No 3: from Animal Farm Book)
" Come on then " began APigCanFly " you won fair & square we'd better take something to eat with us "
" My mommy has just baked some scones with cherries in,I'm sure she'll let us take a few with us " said an excited Imapig2
" We could get some drinks along the way if you like " added Moonpig slyly , still thinking of the 'pub'
" It's alright , Moony, my mommy has made some fresh lemonade too " smiled Imapig2
" Your ...Mommy thinks of everything " APigCanFly smiled back
Moonpig moaned " She sure does "
Within a few moments Imapig2 came running out of the farmhouse with a Big bag of cherry scones & three bottles of her fresh lemonade.She put them into her back-pack...flung it on to her back & off they all started along the country lane towards their favourite meadow spot........Imapig2 skipped along the lane smiling all the way leaving APigCanFly & Moonpig walking along together, trotters touching each other's.
Imapig2 , happily skips up the lane
" It's funny how Ima got the smaller straw " said Moonpig looking at APigCanFly , I was sure that I would get it ? "
" Never mind we're ...'altogether' aren't we ? " APigCanFly ' flutterd ' her eye lashes at Moonpig. Moonpig went a darker shade of green ( blushing at his sweetheart )
Imapig2 was oblivious to her two friends behind her as she skipped along the lane smiling to herself, as a few wisps of straw was carried away, out of her 'other' trotter by the gentle warm breeze.... ( It doesn't take much to break a straw up to be the smallest...she thought )
....( and The Car Boot Antics )
As they continued along the lane they got to hear music playing & the smell of marsh mallows was soon reaching their snouts.
" I smell Popcorn too " dribbled APigCanFly,
" They must be having a fair or something in the top meadow " shouted back Imapig2 to Moonpig & APigCanFly. Sure enough as they reached the top of the lane they could see a Sandwich Board Sign which read ' Car Boot Sale - Welcome One & All '
ooOOH !
" ooOOH ! stalls full of pretty things to buy " APigCanFly clapped her trotters, " Let's see what's going on "
" Alright " said a despondant Imapig2 " not for long though "
Moonpig was still dreaming of a refreshing alcoholic drink, but suddenly came to life as the thought of a Beer Tent on a car boot sale was..possible " Follow me " he said & led the others through the farmer's gate leading to the stalls.
Imapig2 was busy watching the butterflies flitting around & followed them to see where they were going .
APigCanFly was pacing the stalls looking for a bargain & all things 'Pink'( It was her favourite colour )
Moonpig made an excuse he needed the loo & went off in search of his favourite drink
Soon Imapig2 tiring a little with the heavy backpack still full of of scones & lemonade, found APigCanFly eagerly browsing the stalls still for a bargain.
Nothing Interesting...Honest
" Found anything interesting ? " enquired Imapig2 yawning
" No not really...it's all 'junk' " answered APigCanFly, " still it's all good retail therapy. Come on let's go & find Moonpig,...he said he was going to the loo,but that was half an hour a go. I saw him disappearing into the beer tent " So off they went, heading for the beer tent , towards a 'Noisy' sounding tent. They peered inside & there they saw Moonpig standing on a table on one ( back ) trotter with a beer can in each (front) trotter while balancing a third on his snout........"
Look at Moony !
And now for my last trick " he said........ & quick as a flash, he nudged the can ( from off his snout ). Over it went so that the lager poured into his mouth, straight down his throat, followed in succession by the two in his ( front ) trotters while balancing on ' tip toe ' not even spilling a drop." Ta-dah ! " he finished to the clapping of trotters from all the pigs in there. Suddenly he spied APigCanFly & Imapig2 peeking through the tent flap, " opps ! got to go 'fans' Moonpig said & he jumped off the table knocking a stout pig's beer out of his mouth. The stout pig gave Moonpig a ..stern look, APigCanFy & Imapig2 quickly pulled Moonpig out of the tent & all three scampered off to 'their' favourite meadow,but not before Moonpig gave the stout pig one of his ...'Anger Management' business cards... " Call me if you need me " he said disappearing out-side
From 'Bad' to 'Glad'
At last all three were sitting in their favourite spot in the meadow...'Their Meadow', where they could relax....eat their cherry scones & toast the marshmallows APigCanFly had bought... Drink the fresh lemonade that Mommy Dear had made & listening to 'The Calls of Nature'.Very soon Imapig2 had fell asleep & Moonpig too was sleeping the beer off.APigCanFly thought " That's the Last Straw, I can't take anymore " & quickly stuffed some tissue in her ears & pulled a magazine out of her skin pocket, still nibbling at the scones & drinking Mommy Dear's lemonade.
