| The wizard watched as his little Pet descended the stairs. He had been up bright and early planning this surprise but it was almost mid-day when she awoke. "Tonight my Pet" he announced. "We shall be holding a dinner party. It is time we did some entertaining and I wish to show you off." "Mmm Sir" Pet said wiping the sleep from her eyes "Who did you plan on inviting?" "Not inviting - my dear Pet - Invited!! - everything has been arranged." The wizard was content. |
| "So, Sir" Pet said "Who is coming?" "Well Pet - our guest list comprises of - Sigmund Freud, Cleopatra, Samuel Clemens, Lucretia Borgia, Piotr Tchaikovsky and for your entertainment - Hans Christian Anderson." Pet wrinkled her nose thinking - dont know these folks - think I 'eard of Cleopatra - think she was beautiful. The wizard continued "Your chore for the day is to provide food - plain and simple. Nothing else to do. The cauldron is all ready - just write what food you want on little pieces of paper and throw them in the pot." |
| The wizard about turned and ascended the stairs leaving Pet to her chores. Pet look anxiously at the cauldron and grimmaced. Her thoughts were drawn to the fact that she didn't write very well. Several pictures came into her head from the books she had seen in the orphanage. She picked up a pen and started scribbling. Suckling pig with apple in his mouth. Blackbird pie. Quail soup. Jam tarts and a pot of hot strong tea. Yummy she thought - a banquet fit for a King. |
| The wizard turned from the mirror. He had been trying on his new outfit. What was that horrific noise coming from his study. He hurried downstairs and couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't see Pet - but what he did see was -two pigs running rampant in his study. Twenty four blackbirds and four quails flapping about. The Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter pulling on this large teapot. And, a dozen Chinese, tea-picking coolies!! Should he laugh - or should he cry? "Pet" he said patiently - "Go down into the cellar and pick 6 bottles of wine and dust them whilst I sort out this mess." "Oh - and remind me to to give you writing lessons tomorrow!!" |
