Candies for All
“My word Sky how did you get all those candies?” Asked Posh Bear.
“I’m helping the man so he gave me all these sweeties and so I thought I’d share them around between my friends.”
“The man gave you them Sky, that was very kind of him.” Muttered Bertie.
“Yes Bertie, it surprised me too.”
“Why did he give them to you Sky?” Asked Posh.
“Shall we say, for services rendered. Well, they will be when all these are eaten up.”
“I don’t understand Sky, why would he want them all eaten up? He’ll only buy some more.” Said Bertie looking confused.
“Then I’ll help him out again Bertie.”
“This all sounds very strange to me Sky, when did the man give you all these candies?” Said Posh.
“When did he? Mmm, probably later this evening after he has had his bath Posh. I’m sure he’ll give them away then so we might as well make a start on what will be ours now.”
“I’m not eating any of them until you tell me how you came by them Sky.” Said Posh putting on his best grumpy face.
“It’s quite simple really Posh, nothing to get so excited about I assure you. Every night, after the man has had his bath it is his habit to stand on that weighing thing and then he takes a deep breath, shakes his head and stands off it looking sad. I discovered that in his weighing thing there is a little dial that help one to adjust, to make them accurate, well I may have just nudged it a tad. Not intentional at all you understand. However, when he gets on them tonight there’ll be a little louder gasp with his deep breath, and then, he’ll go off all sweet things for a very long while.”
“That sounds all fair and proper Posh. Sky is merely helping him out of an overstocked situation. It wouldn’t be right to not help the man, after all, he is our friend, well sort of friend.”
“Don’t you think it is a tiny bit underhand to adjust his weighing thing like that though? I mean, suppose they make him thinner and weigh less?”
“No Posh, it won’t do that for when I nudged it, and it was a total accident, I made sure it was nudged in the right direction. After we have eaten these I think if we look in the cake tin; he made some buns first thing this morning and I’m sure he’ll be giving them away too.”
“Buns, yummy, I like them with a nice coating of honey.” Said Posh.
“Honey Posh? Didn’t you realise Posh that you don’t have any honey left? I happened to notice last night when I had the last jar. I was going to leave it but by the time I noticed it was almost all gone anyway and to leave it to go stale wouldn’t have done anyone any good. However, I did have a delivery of honey come in first thing this morning and I could let you borrow a jar of mine at a very reasonable rate.”
Reasonable Rate, what are you on about Sky?”
“I lend you one of my jars and when you get your store filled again you let me have three jars back, sort of interest if you know what I mean. Of course, you can also help yourself to some of my candies too Posh.”
“That sounds a cracking deal to me Posh, just think those delicious buns covered with honey.” Added Bertie.
