It was so funny! Daddy was mowing the lawn when suddenly there was a bang and
the electricity went off. Earlier that day he’d laid a cable to his shed – he’s
too mean to employ an electrician. It was obviously a bit too close to the surface
and he must have chopped it with the mower. Anyway, he went to the fuse box, flicked the switch
and as if by magic everything started working again.
You may remember me telling you about my parent's pet peacock. It’s called Fanny because of its
tail. Later that day whilst enjoying its evening constitutional
it must have trodden on the damaged cable because it light up like a Christmas decoration!
Fortunately apart from being a bit singed around the nether regions it was unharmed, otherwise it would have been on
the festive menu instead of turkey this year!
P.S. It's been renamed Sparky!
Hahaha! Sparky became a Christmas decoration! Cute story Rosey! I'm glad no peacock was harmed in the making of this story. :D
ReplyDeleteCute story. I loved the tone of it. Mean daddy and Sparky. :)
ReplyDeleteCute story and it sounded very real. Poor Fanny but it was lucky it was only singed. LOL Sparky.
ReplyDeleteFunny and cute! A quick invention of a Christmas decoration just by being in the wrong place at the right time! Love the name ...Sparky.
