The five legged spider "

"I just don't know who got the most sympathy do You,?

A Story by ROSALIND

BANG BANG, THUD THUD, CRASH CRASH. "Eek!” Mr Ketchup woke up rather
startled. “Help Help!!”. He shot out of bed and darted so quickly
like an acrobat on a trampoline. However, His foot became trapped,
between the wardrobe. Well as you can imagine how painful it was
for poor old Ketchup, not a pretty sight. "Get me out of here!” he
yelled.
When finally Haggis and Neeps arrived just in the nick of time
by Jove it saved his bacon I can tell you.
"Oh, my goodness me, whatever, has happened?” enquired his friends.
"Well, you see, I heard an unexpected noise from the hallway, it may have
been Tabby, my cat. I think it’s a possibility that he knocked over the trash can.” He sighed deeply.
"Will you all wait here a minute until I come back?"
Meanwhile, Mr Ketchup groaned “My foot hurts.”
Neeps shouted, “Yes it is definitely the cat. That cat is a terrible nuisance, it’s just not properly house trained
at all.

"Far from it!” said Mr Ketchup.
"Poor wee..thing”, (sympathised) Neeps, "what a shame for Tabby. Really, Mr Ketchup, you ought not to be so selfish, you know!!
I'd better take him home to my place for now, okay?
Come, come now Mr ketchup."

At this remark Mr Ketchup just frowned.
"Good riddance, I am very glad to see the back of that cat!"
After that, Haggis attended to his friend’s foot. Of course he just
gave him an awkward look.


The very next day, Mr Ketchup threw the curtains ajar and oh my, it
looked dull and overcast and all of a sudden the hail stones hit
the path like golf balls. That is so annoying, he thought. Oh how
he hated the hail stones, it wasn't his cup of tea absolutely not!
He hadn't much of a choice, as Haggis and his friend Neeps were picking him up in their rusty old banger, it would be lucky to make
it to the surgery and back again.



After a long visit to the doctors, Mr Ketchup decided to have a cat nap, but just then, a spider ran across his cover at top speed. How
crazy was that! Mr Ketchup could spy it from the corner of his eye, before it escaped he grabbed a jam jar and threw it over the poor legless wee thing. Well I never thought this black ragged wee thing has only five little hairy legs, aren't they supposed to have eight!! He uttered to himself. Mr Ketchup felt really bad, because he acted rather hastily. "If only I hadn't been so cruel, the wee thing didn't stand a chance, "DID IT NOW" OH Red Pepper, I have been so stupid haven't I!"
"Come on Mr Ketchup, that is quite enough drama for one day. " Answered Red Pepper. “Fetch your new red coat,"
"Okay, Okay, stop fussing." At this, they both trotted down the road with the five legged spider to the vet.....
