“That old Spud’s a proper stick-in-the-mud,”
Says red–lipped Cherry. “Not talking to him
anymore!”
Spud hears this and is hurt to the core.
Suddenly – thud!
Next thing you know he’s lying on the floor.
All the fruit and vegetables gather round to
view the scene.
“Dead or alive?” asks Parsnip. “Hmm … let’s
see,” says Garden Pea,
“I wonder … hmm …what do you think Broad
Bean?”
“Nothing serious, just badly shook if you ask
me!”
“Spud! Darling! It’s me – Cherry. I’m awfully
sorry! (Can he hear?)
Said awfully sorry! Friends? So silly to fight!”
Spud opens a watery eye: “Forgive you this
time, my dear.”
“Oh, so happy!
Tell me Spud … anything – er –
cooking tonight?”
