Here comes Tomic!
Arp! Arp!
he goes. What's this? What's this
here?
he goes, snuffling his nose in Gran's
expensive new pot plant.
(sniff) (sniff) (tchtchtch!) Smells interesting
. In a second
Tomic is up on the pot plant. Some treasure buried here,
he
chatters, something under these tasty leaves.
Tomic
scrabbles in the mud and before you can eat a
biscuit there's a pile of earth on the carpet behind
him.
Tomic snuffles right into the plant. (tchtchtch!) Yummy
leaves!
he says, and before you can flip over a takkie Tomic's
off, stashing the leaves behind the sofa.
So many leaves! So many leaves! Which one's for me?
(picture).
Oh no! The plant is destroyed.
Tomic goes left and right, litterings Gran's carpet in shredded
leaves. What's that? What's that? Didn't find the
buried treasure.... (tchtchtch!)
Tomic runs to the pot another
look.
Tomic, is that you?
Footsteps. What you up to?
Gran is coming down the stairs.
(tchtchtch!) There's that big-footed woman again. Hide!
Hide!
Tomic runs off, knocking the pot over and spilling more
mud on the floor. Gran is cross. What a mess
you've made, ferret,
says Gran where's
my expensive plant gone?
But Tomic vanishes.
Arp!
