Mr Ketchup battle with the soaps suds

Mr Ketchup battle with the soaps suds

A Story by ROSALIND

Phew home at last, sighed Mr ketchup.
" Haggis,  my tongue is hanging out with thirst. 'Will.' You please.......
" I just knew it. Must Have read your mind replied Haggis."
"Oh Jolly good sport, smiled Mr Ketchup."
who seemed to be good at giving orders.
" I suppose you will be wanting a biscuit too,? asked Haggis.
" Anything else that you require while i am still here.?"
"Well actually,' I was thinking about taking on hired help for a few weeks. mumbled Mr Ketchup."
"Oh I see. That will make a change of me having to run after you."
"Only until Sweet Potato face returns Home it may be any time now. He muttered."
"Oh I am sorry."
" She has had problems in the past, but never this bad. he sighed."
"O....oh.....no.. Haggis looked concerned."
Anyway Sweet Potato Face will not return home until her mother snuffs it."
" How kind of you Mr Ketchup." haggis replied.
" Don't mention it, It was to expected she was getting on a bit anyway."
" if you need anything just give me a call won't you." shout Haggis
And off he went home.

Mr Ketchup found it hard to cry and so his way of dealing with it was to laugh it off. And pretend 



he didn't care. He wouldn't want Haggis to think he cried that was his own secret. He'd might make fun of him. But Mr ketchup couldn't of been more wrong in fact Haggis understood the whole situation.
And He certainly wasn't that type of person. far from it. Kind and thoughtful.  
But poor Mr ketchup felt rather down in the dumps and he missed his Sweet Potato Face. It had already been a week. and he felt lonely all by himself. Or was because he missed getting fussed over and over again.
When it came to doing most of the household chores, Mr ketchup hardly ever did anything most of the
time he would wriggle his way out of the chores. So when it did come to him fending for himself,
He nearly always did something wrong. Oh bother said Mr ketchup, the washing oops it's been in the rotting washing machine for days. i am afraid it's gone rather musty. Oh fiddle sticks I have to
run it through another program. He bent down and picked up the empty carton of soap powder.
Well I never. he wasn't in the mood for going out. besides it is near closing time, I will not make it
even if i tried. He stood there for ages wondering if he could come up with a crafty idea.
cracked it,  Oh no and what do you think Mr ketchup done next he poured in half a bottle of fairly liquid into the washing machine. turned it on the hottest cycle, round and around the wash went. the more it went round the more soap suds increased. Soon the soap suds poured out of the washing machine and all over the floor. and the washing machine began to shake sounding like a helicopter landing in a air field.   My word this wasn't looking good for poor old Mr ketchup.

Oh my goodness Mr Ketchup Panicked what ever will i do now, he wailed.
he Picked up the telephone receiver and dialed 999 a person spoke on the other line.
"Which service do you require they said."?
"All three please ." said Mr ketchup.  
"All three Sir, why is that.?
"The firemen to plump out the soap suds. and the Ambulance in case i drown . and the police to assist  the fire men."
"Okay Sir,' now just keep calm.and  we be there as soon as possible."
"then hurry,' before I drown then.'
"Then quickly remove yourself from the offending item and bolt it.  
Mr ketchup thought that the 999 services had lost the plot. Ten minutes later the fire-crew pulled the hoses down. to soak up the offending soap suds.. Poor Mr ketchup looked nervous wreck.
Just then haggis appeared on the scene .
"Oh golly what has been going on here." gigged Haggis."
" It's no laughing,' matter. moaned Mr Ketchup."
" Come come now. Mr Ketchup', let me take you home to mine until this sorts its self out."
Oh boy what a day it has been." He thought.....

I fixed the first portion of your story because, honestly, I couldn't understand it. Your quotations make it incredibly difficult to read. I hope I got it right:

“Phew, home at last,” sighed Mr Ketchup. “Haggis, my tongue is hanging out with thirst. Will. You. Please...”

"I just knew it. Must have read your mind,” replied Haggis.

"Oh, Jolly good sport,” smiled Mr Ketchup, who seemed to be good at giving orders.

"I suppose you will be wanting a biscuit too?” Haggis asked, “anything else that you require while I am still here?"

"Well actually, I was thinking about taking on hired help for a few weeks,” mumbled Mr Ketchup.

"Oh, I see. That will make a change of me having to run after you."

"Only until Sweet Potato face returns Home it may be any time now.” He muttered.

"Oh, I am sorry."

"She has had problems in the past, but never this bad,” he sighed.

"Oh... oh... no….” Haggis looked concerned, trailing off. “… Anyway Sweet Potato Face will not return home until her mother snuffs it."

"How kind of you Mr Ketchup." Haggis replied.

"Don't mention it. It was to be expected. She was getting on a bit, anyway."

"If you need anything just give me a call won't you," shouted Haggis and off he went home.
