"Haggis, about time too," moaned Mr Ketchup.
"Come now, Mr Ketchup there is no need to be rude!"
"I don't know What all the fuss is about", Mr Ketchup snapped.
"Well I never" sighed, Neeps.
Mr ketchup was so unapologetic and stubborn, that Haggis and Neeps decided to do something about his bad manners.
Tomorrow, Mr ketchup would have to learn the hard way.
Early next morning the weather forcast for today was bright warm and sunny.
Mr Ketchup felt sorry for himself.
And spent most
of the day sorting out his household junk. he'd been collecting
for years. There wasn't room to swing a cat, In the corner of the
room was a broken bed, with piles of dirty stinking laundry. In The
corner there where lots of carry bags with all his important mail
stacked in a rubble.
In fact there was enough of his belongings
To start up a jumble sale.
Mr Ketchup had decided to have a break, for a cup of tea.
I think that was his way of giving up before he actually started.
"Oh bother" sighed Mr Ketchup. " I haven't any milk left in the fridge.
Bet that wretched cat has lapped up my last drop.
All the way down to the shops he huffed and he puffed all the way up the hill to Yellow Market street.
At last he said to himself
But oh dear, Mr Ketchup was in for a nasty
shock.
Closed today.
Away on a day trip.
Well his face sank, with horror how could his friends be so horrible to him.
But it was like calling the kettle black.
He forgot all about his rude behaviour the night before.
Now his friends were giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Well Mr Ketchup broke down in tears.
How could his friends do that to him.
Leaving him behind.!
But he ponded for a moment. "I am the selfish one. I have been cruel unkind.
I deserve being taught a lesson. Perhaps in future I won't take my friends for granted."
