The Dog, the Mice and the Cheese

Pliny and her mum went Christmas shopping last Friday, although they didn't need to. They had already bought all their Christmas presents except for the one that you could only buy in Bunnings.

I want to buy a special Christmas card for W**** and C****, said Pliny's mum. I think they will need cheering up.

Oh, said Pliny, and why is that?

Because of McEwen's leg, said Pliny's mum.

They looked for a cheery sort of Christmas card that would take W**** and C****'s minds off their dog's leg.

Pliny liked one which showed a mouse holding his Christmas present up to his nose and saying "I bet it's cheese."

Pliny's mum liked the one with Three Wise Mice bringing presents of Cheddar, Stilton and Gorgonzola to a cute little baby Jeesmouse. She thought it was funnier. She thought it would definitely cheer them up.

Pliny thought that now she came to think about it she needed cheering up as well. She began to hope that she too would receive a special card at Christmas from her mum.
