A Sort of a Solution
“That was lovely honey Posh, the best I have tasted in a while. Thank you for sharing.”
“My pleasure Bertie, I’m sure if our friend Sky had been here the jar would have been empty by now.”
“Indeed, however, I do think we need to consider ways to free our stuck friend from that red vase for it can’t be very comfortable in there.”
“I suppose so, poor Sky.” Said Posh then giggled a little.
“He said he asked Harrod to go down on all fours so he could climb in, do you think we should do the same to get him out again?”
“No Bertie that would never work. I think we should ask Captain and see what he says.”
“I don’t understand why Captain and not Harrod?”
“Well, if you had been stood and trampled on by Sky, would you be prepared to do the same again only this time for a slightly bigger and heavier bear?”
“I see your point Posh, good thinking. Captain is slightly on the small side though don’t you think?”
“Perhaps, but if we position him correctly, he should be big enough to land on.”
“Land on Posh, I don’t understand?”
“Well the way I see it Bertie is that in order to release Sky, it would be much easier to push the vase over, gently of course, and let him either fall out or crawl once landed. It is likely he will not fall but in the event of things not going quite to plan I thought Captain could act as a means of extra cushioning for Sky’s fall. As I say Bertie, I’m sure he won’t be needed and we’ll make sure that it is just Sky doing the possible landing and not the heavy vase that could fall on the Captain.”
“I see but it all seems slightly dangerous to me. I can’t see the Captain agreeing to being a cushion for the falling Sky no matter how much he likes our friend.”
“Leave it to me, a little bit of bribery in the way of the rest of this jar of honey will be quite sufficient. You go and chat to Sky and keep him company but I shouldn’t mention exactly what we propose doing for it might make our poor stuck friend slightly nervous. Best let it all be a wonderful surprise for him, don’t you think?”
Bertie scratched his head and looked suitably worried.
“I’m not sure what to think Posh but I do know we need to get Sky out of this vase.”
Bertie made his way to see Sky while Posh went to tempt the Captain with the rest of the honey. Posh was very confident in his plans and couldn’t see how anything could go wrong providing he made sure he stood behind the falling vase so it couldn’t fall on him.
“Thank you Captain for helping us as an advisor with this procedure, it really is very simple as you can see. Silly Sky has got himself stuck in this vase and can’t climb out. Stupid bear. I have considered the options and wondered if you thought a big heavy hammer not might be the answer?” He asked.
The Captain shook his head for he could see obvious dangers to all and the vase.
“No Posh that would be far too dangerous and there must be a better way, a safer way for our dear friend Sky.”
“You could find a ladder someone, that would do nicely.” Suggested Sky looking about for help.
“I did think of that Sky but there doesn’t seem to be one about. Let me lean on this jar to rest while we think. You too Bertie, lean beside me.” Said Posh then winked an eye at his friend.
“When I tell you to push Bertie, give it all you have.” Whispered Posh Bear as he watched the Captain walking about deep in thought.
“Harrod helped me last time, why not ask him if he’ll help?” Asked Sky trying to be helpful as he felt the vase tilt slightly to one side when the two bears began leaning against it.
“I didn’t see Harrod so perhaps he has gone shopping for more honey.” Said Posh.
Moments later Posh Bear calculated that the Captain was in about the right place, so gave the instructions to Bertie and together they managed to push the vase over. It fell almost in slow motion and landed gently on its side with Sky landing on a soft cushion and then rolling onto the unfortunate Captain.
“Wow! Boy was that fun; can we do that again please?” Shouted Sky as he untangled himself from the Captain.
“No Sky, you are to stay out of vases in future.” Said Bertie while trying to get to his feet and discovering that somehow Posh had managed to get behind him when they pushed.
“Now do you see what I mean Bertie, as I have often said about dear Sky, no sense – no feeling?” Said Posh Bear.
Bertie nodded his head as he walked over to help Captain up from the floor and dust him down.
“Sorry about that Captain I do hope you are all right and haven’t been hurt by Sky’s fall.”
“No not at all, I think it was Sky’s head that hit me most and we all know how soft that is.”
“Poor Sky, it has been quite an ordeal for you so please come back with me and have some honey, you too Captain.” Said Bertie producing a jar of honey from behind his back that he had “borrowed” from Posh Bear earlier.
“What about me Bertie?” Asked Posh.
“Of course you are invited too Posh, I think you’ll like the taste of this honey, it is very like that we tasted earlier.”
