Oh, I see. I guess that makes sense. But I don’t think Ms Murtle will want this book back … Just to make sure, I’m going to lick every page so that no one wants it.
Actually, I just tried licking a page. My tongue feels weird. Maybe I’ll stop and just tell them I licked every page! Anyway, I’m sure this whole thing is just temporary and we’ll definitely be asked back as library monitors in no time. After all, it was me that came up with all those amazing ideas for Book Week … like the virtual petting library where everyone gets a holographic goat that reads books to you, and the edible bookmarks – all MY great ideas. They’ll be begging us to come back!
As a world-famous explorer, I’ve seen a lot of storms and I’m pretty sure this one will blow over too. It’s what my gran would call ‘a storm in a teacup’, which can be quite a shock when you first find yourself sipping on a hailstorm or a blizzard, but it soon disappears when you dunk a chocolate biscuit in it … if you know what I mean. Pretty soon Ms Murtle will realise just how much she needs us and this will all be forgotten. I mean it’s not like she could EVER replace us, and definitely not now since it’s BOOK WEEK!
Yours considerably,
Jimmy Cook
