Mr Ketchup regrets being rude

Mr Ketchup regrets being rude

A Story by ROSALIND

"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."
