Honey - Where are you?
“What is the matter, Sky, you look concerned?” Asked Posh Bear
Sky sat down beside his friends clearly concerned about something.
“We may have a honey supply problem, Posh.” He said looking around at his friends.
“Why is that, Sky? I thought you were ordering extra this delivery because of the party for that birthday we are not talking about.” Said Bertie staring at Barnaby.
“Well, the man has changed his supplier; something to do with parachutes I think I heard him say. Anyway, I ordered all those jars of honey like you said, Posh, but they only delivered a few. What is more they sent all these parachutes, which, I hasten to report that I sent back.”
“Parachutes, what are they?” Asked Barnaby looking around.
“Well, if the shop doesn’t have what you ordered, Barnaby, they deliver these parachutes rather than send nothing at all. Sometimes they are fine, but what they sent us were no good at all.” Explained Sky.
“You mean substitutes, Sky, parachutes are large pieces of cloth that enable things to descend to the ground gently from up high.” Said Bertie.
“Right, well these parachutes descended from the air and landed right on our order and they are no good. I asked the driver what was in the jars and he said peanut butter, and as they ran out of that, they made the order up with some stuff called lemon curd. What is even more strange, the driver seemed in a state of shock as he told me what they had sent. Anyone would think that he had never spoken to a bear before.”
“Sounds disgusting, Sky, so pleased you sent it all back. As for the driver being in shock, I guess he was just disappointed he couldn’t deliver all our honey. I’m sure he speaks to bears every day. Well, back to the problem and we will have to persuade the man to go back to the place he was ordering from as they kept lots of honey especially for us.” Said Posh Bear.
“I don’t think he will, Posh, he was fed up with all the parachutes he was getting. We did get some honey but not enough for the birthday party we don’t talk about.” Explained Sky.
“Can’t you just order for us from the old supplier, Sky?” Asked Bertie.
“Difficult, Bertie. You see I wait for the man to do his order then I tack what we want on the end of it. I meet the driver at the front door and take our stuff and then send him along to the back door with the things for the man. When ordering, the man must use this piece of plastic before they will send the goods, it is very complicated with his talking thing sending a message and lots of numbers. Without all that, the store won’t deliver for I have tried before.” Explained Sky.
“I still say the best plan is to persuade the man to go back to where he used to buy the groceries from. That should not be too difficult.” Said Posh Bear.
“How do you think we can do that though, Posh Bear?” Asked Bertie.
“Simple, when Sky adds our items to the order, if Sky was to then add numbers by the things the man had on order so he received far too much, that should put him off this supplier.” Said Posh Bear.
“Do you think it will work, Posh?” Asked Barnaby.
“It always has in the past.” Said Posh Bear. “I just can’t think what gets in to hoomans at times.”
“I agree, Posh, imagine having to eat parachutes like those that were sent to us.” Said Barnaby.
“Yes, Barnaby, just imagine!”
The book that is open is called Bearing Up and is illustrated by Mike Johnson. The page says, “I’m not going to worry unless the animals start lining up two by two for the space shuttle.”
