Poor Mr Ketchup's Flower beds...

A Chapter by ROSALIND

Trouble was waiting for Mr Ketchup at home ""

 

At last, Wednesday morning had arrived and the men from Yellow market arrived to cut Mr Ketchup's grass, trim the lawn and also the hedge, but there was no sign of Mr Ketchup or his friends, so the men
decided to just carry on with the grass cutting without his permission.
Well that wasn't a good idea at all!
So the work had begun on his garden then the fun began.....
The lawn mower lost control and ran over Mr Ketchup's flower bed.
It didn't look too good with hedge trimmer either: what a terrible job these work men made of the hedge! Oh I wouldn’t like to be in their shoes. Just wait until Mr Ketchup gets back from his shopping trip!


Meanwhile, Red pepper and Haggis were trying to convince Mr Ketchup
to buy the brown coat with the hood, because winter wasn't far behind.
He already tried on heaps of trousers, most of them were not suitable and the rest too short in the leg. He picked up the black trousers
with the baggy legs. Moments later, Mr Ketchup appeared to still be busy with a pile of jumpers hanging on a clothes rail. There were lots of different bright colourful shirts on the rack behind. Finally after
hours of shopping, Mr Ketchup had finished. Poor Mr Ketchup struggled
to the counter, and gave a sigh of relief phew that was hard work.
"I think we all deserve some lunch”, said Haggis"
"I am hungry too”, replied Neeps and Red pepper".
Meanwhile at the counter, Mr Ketchup pulled out his wallet
and pulled out some twenty pounds notes. He had over spent a bit.
Oh dear he did look a bit washed out after trailing around Yellow market
He couldn’t wait to get home and put his feet up and watch his favourite
television programme.
              

 

After the long shopping trip, Mr Ketchup wasn't in the mood for anything.
He slowly dragged his sore feet up the steep hill. Oh my goodness,
You should have seen his face! It looked like he was ready to explode.
like a rocket. Haggis Neeps and Red pepper looked at each other.
“I think it’s time we were off”. “Look Mr Ketchup, just leave it until
tomorrow, it’s been a very long day you know”, groaned Haggis.
"Yes we are all rather tired replied Red Pepper.
"Okay, okay, keep your hair on”, grumbled Mr Ketchup.
But one thing is for sure, I will be getting to the bottom of this in the morning.....
